Performing a 'disk clean up'

[lucklucky]

Less ex: WD770 1TB is at 75$ at Amazon, less performing but still acceptable can be had for 50-60$

 

A 8GB stick of Crucial RAM 8GB DDR4 2400 MHz CL17 Desktop Memory CT8G4DFS824A Green/Black is at 20$      Edit note, need SODIMM memory so this large stick is not correct.

The bottleneck will now be the CPU with only 2 cores.

It shouldn't affect simple stuff like browsing the net, YT, movies etc.

2x8GB of DDR-2400 RAM should be ~50 bucks, 1 TB NVME disk about a 100 bucks?

It uses SODIMM memory, a 16GB kit is 44 bucks on amazon.com, so yes.

1TB Crucial SSD is 74, on the same place

You are correct it uses laptop (SODIMM) memory. Thanks for correction.

We posted at the same time. Also, a lesser performing NVME should be perfectly aceptable, as it still would be vastly faster than a HDD.

Yep, the slowest possible SATA SSD will simply crush the fastest HDD in terms of speed and reliability. An NVMe SSD is like adding a turbocharger.
