Does it give better performance than windows 8.1? I'm using windows 8.1 now and it doesn't run great all the time when using multiple browsers on laptop screen and HDMi to my tele screen.
Every computer I have upgraded to Windows 10 has seen a performance improvement - ESPECIALLY the lower powered ones that were slugs on Windows 8.1

So, lower processor speed, older Video card, 2.0 GB more RAM. Windows 10 runs fantastic on my laptop.
4 Gig of RAM and multiple browsers, of course you are going to have the machine bog down when trying to do stuff. I have 12 Gig of RAM in my wife's laptop and have had no slow downs. It actually runs faster on 10 then it did on 8.
How much faster would my laptop run if i upgraded to 8GB and a SSD?
The SSD would improve responsiveness a lot, particularly if your current HDD is a 5400 rpm one.
