Hi there,

I'm not very tech savvy and would like some help if possible. Looking to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite P-75-A7100 laptop, I have attached an image with specifications. I've had the laptop for 10 years, it works fine but I use a lot of systems and platforms, since I record videos and do editing so it gets slow at times and I'm wondering what I could do to give it new life. Again, please explain like I'm 5 since I'm new to computer language. Thanks!

It might be possible, but upgrade to what?

You already have a decent processor (for its gen).

To determine if "better" processors are available, you will need to ask toshiba (which is unlikely) what processors are supported by their bios.

 

Good luck
