Updating Old Lenovo All-in-One

  • I would add that I don't think that it's worth taking it to a shop. It's a DIY job using a YouTube guide and assistance from here or with the help of a family member/friend. Fitting the parts is straightforward. It's moving your data to the new drive that takes some aforethought. But you'd have to do that with a new PC too, so that's not really an impediment.

    I have an old Lenovo All-in-one and it's not able to support Windows 10.  It's very slow and Microsoft Edge keeps taking forever and "not responding."

    Processor:           Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3220T @ 2.600GHz    2.6GHz
    Installed RAM:     4.00GB

    I'm not tech savvy and to be honest I don't know what the above means but I know it was nice and fast when I bought it approx 9 or 10 years ago from John Lewis

    I mainly use the computer for emails and browsing and I much prefer the larger screen for this. 

    Does anybody know if this all-in-one can be upgraded to be faster and will it cost much?  Or would I be better off waiting for Black Friday and get a refurbished all-in-one or desktop?

    Please remember I'm not tech savvy by any stretch of the imagination so please bear that in mind if I ask more daft questions!

    TIA

    As is usual, I have a different opinion.

    If it is the Lenovo C460, not only is it easily upgradeable, it CAN run Windows 10 with ease.
    The problem lies mainly with it's current boot drive/storage system. Think of it like storing your stuff on an LP as opposed to digitally. It take longer to access new track if you want to listen to bits of each song and if you try to do it quickly it doesn't cope. Easy to change that with a modern alternative and it's cheap.

    I agree with this.

    An upgrade from the old mechanical hard drive to SSD and maybe a memory increase would be much cheaper than buying a new machine, and Lenovo all in ones are simple to upgrade yourself.

    OP, find the model number of the computer; there's a guide here

    Then post that and we'll help you find compatible memory and SSD that'll easily run windows 10.
