I bought brand new DELL VOSTRO 3501 in JANUARY 2021. Its running too slow than expected. I haven't installed any heavy software . Just visual studio code and typing master.yet it takes so much time to load . Even takes a minute or two to open Google Chrome. Seriously I am disappointed . Do I have to add more ram to my inbuilt 4 gb ram ? I am a student and learning coding . And slower performance of this laptop is just demotivating me to do so.
Very slow
