Pretty sure the memory is fine. There is no SSD in it, it has a 1TB hard drive and 8gb DDR memory. As I said, the thing works perfectly. It's just that the operating system will not be supported soon (turns out 2025) and some of the programs in it have already upgraded themselves to a point where they are no longer compatible with my computer. Some of them I don't need and can live without. Some of them would be an inconvenience to lose, on the occasion that I actually need to use them.

I tend to keep my electronics devices until they no longer work, there's no need to keep switching for bigger and better just because they're bigger and better. That's something people with disposable incomes do. I'm not one of those people.

Now that I think of it - the graphics card is integrated and it's a legacy. <sigh> Back to having to buy a new computer.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll still talk with the computer club when it's time to ditch my beauty.
