2. 4.00 GB installed RAM

I don't carry the laptop around. It's always on my desk.

What you recommend sounds above my pay grade, but I might be able to get some help for the installation.

But what would I be shopping for in a "new larger local drive"?

And what is it that I need for the temporary external drive?

I knew this machine had low GB from the reviews, and likely should have invested a bit more, but......

Thanks for your advice!

Ah ... so you're maybe actually talking about the Memory (aka RAM), not the storage space here ...	mr_lebowski	Apr 2019	#4
