What are two different ways to upgrade a computer?

Answer 1

People usually upgrade their computers by either buying hardware (new parts) or software (new programs). Different people will tell you different ways to upgrade your computer. If you want to upgrade your computer for office work, you may just need a newer operating system (ex Windows Vista). If you want to upgrade your computer for gaming or running performance programs, then you may need to upgrade your video card, RAM modules, and hardrive space. You can either install these components yourself, or pay to have an official worker from a store come do it for you.

Answer 2

This is a simple-sounding question but it is impossible to give a simple answer!

Before any advice can be given to you, anyone who knows something about computers would want to know lots more information about your present PC system and what you want to use it for after you have upgraded it.

If you want to upgrade its hardware and/or operating system software, and you don't know where to start, why not ask a friend, who knows more about PCs than you do, to help you?

Or, if you want to be better prepared to have a discussion with someone about your upgrade, why not read a book about personal computers and how to upgrade them?

You could either buy a book that covers the subject or you could borrow one from your local library. The librarian would probably be able to help you to find the right book for you.

Answer 3

To determine which path might be better for your computer system, it is best to look at a cost comparison of what you will get out of each of the two options. My rule of thumb is that upgrades should typically be done if the costs of the upgrades will be roughly half of the cost of getting a new system. This is just a guideline based on most upgrades giving you a functional lifespan of roughly half of what replacement will get you.

The advantage that desktop PCs have is a greater amount of upgrades that can be made to them compared to a laptop computer. The problem is that with so many components that can be upgraded, the costs of upgrades can quickly outpace the cost of replacement. Let's take a look at some of the items that can be upgraded, their relative cost and ease of installation.
