Hi guys, i want to upgrade a laptop that my dearly passed away mother has given her. She only wants to use it for zoom.. is there anyway for me to upgrade it so she can do this as the preocessor speed is low.
Ok her laptop is
Dell Inspiron 1520
Processor is Intel(r) core (tm) pvo cpu - t5250 @1.5ghz
Hardrive 75g ish

is it worth me buying some bargains to just get her what she needs..i.e a better processor and ssd card?
Thank you in advance for your replies

That system may not be fast enough to run things like Zoom even with an SSD and the fastest CPU you can put in it. You can try an SSD and max out the RAM but good chance things won't run well on it. Not sure what CPU will work on it, this is the socket list for that CPU https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Core_2_Duo_Mobile/T5250.html but as to which of the CPUs will work in your system depends on the laptop, you may just have to get one and try it.
