In my task manager tab my Disk and Memory usage tends to be high what parts should I upgrade to fix this I have a basic motherboard might that be the problem?
It might not be just a hardware issue. First - see what programs are running in the background - and stop any that are unnecessary. Once that's sorted - look at increasing your hardware's capabilities. The main problem with Windows - is that it is 'memory hungry', It will use as much memory as is available - with priority over other software.
Uninstalling any programs you don't use anymore will free up disk space - don't forget to us a 'disk-clean' program to remove 'remnants' of uninstalled programs. Regular use of the defrag utility to 'tidy up' your hard drive will help keep it running smoothly.
Check the capabilities of your motherboard. See if you can upgrade the CPU to a faster chip. Certainly look at adding as much memory as your motherboard can accept. That will help Windows (and thus reduce the load on the system. If your hard-drive' capacity is relatively low - consider either upgrading to a larger drive, or compress your existing drive to increase free space.
Just for information - I'm using a Toshiba laptop with 8GB RAM (it came with 4MB) - a Terabyte (1TB) of hard drive space, and a processor running at 2.0 GHz. I run windows 10 - with an 'emulator' to make it look like Windows 8 (I liked the Win 8 interface).

How do you upgrade your ram?
You upgrade your RAM on your computer by buying RAM expansion cards for your computer. You then would have to open your computer case and you look for what look like rectangle shaped slots that are on the motherboard. These are called expansion slots and you would slide the RAM expansion card in one of these slots till the card is all the way in. You will want to put some force while putting the card in to make sure that it is properly seated in the expansion slot but you will want to also be gentle as the cards are pretty delicate and even a chip could cause it to not work properly.
