I bought a HP Pavilion g6 with windows 8 recently and the hard drive failed. I replaced the hard drive with a brand new one and installed windows 7 because I couldn't get on with windows 8 nor 8.1. I installed the sims 3 on it for my girlfriend and couldn't get it to work, but with some help with a member on here I replaced missing drivers and was good to go.
Now my issue is that the laptop seems to be quite slow, despite it having next to nothing on the hard drive. The only things installed are windows updates, drivers, google chrome and sims 3 with all the expansions. It seems to be a little slow but when she's on sims 3 it lags and freezes constantly. I checked the laptop on http://www.systemrequirementslab.com and it passes with flying colours. The only thing I can think of is upgrading the ram from 4GB to 8GB.
Any help is appreciated.
