How and why particular upgrades on the computer systems are selected? Well old computer systems and new computer systems are required, to make the computer system faster and update with all the software. The types of upgrades you might want to do with an old computer is add a larger capacity hard drive and RAM and a new operating system.
Before you upgrade to a new capacity hard drive first check and see if your computer really needs it. So basically you need to go to:
· My computer and then right click on properties
· Review the information on the general tab in the system properties dialog box
Only consider a hard disk or memory upgrade if you old computer doesn’t meet the following standards:
· CPU – minimum 366 MHz
· Memory – at least 128 MB
· Hard drive – at least 20 GB
After you have upgraded the hardware you might want to upgrade the operating system to have a better performance and to be up to date with your software. If you already have a computer there is no point in getting a new computer, you should just get the right software and hardware for your computer to make it new.
All computers need upgrades to stay update to date with all the new software, upgrade means a replacement of hardware, software or firmware with a newer or better version, in order to bring the system up to date or to improve its characteristics, the upgrade will be a more powerful version of an existing system.
