I need help.... My compaq laptop is extremely low especially when using bluestack on it... These are the few specifications my laptop has;

* window 8 pro

* AMD Turion(tm) II ultra Dual-core Mobile M600 2.40GHz processor

*2gb of ram

*232gb of hard disk

Are there things I am to upgrade in the laptop that will make it fast? Plz help

firstly that your hp compaq laptop uses an amd processor, and it's graphics will probably be dedicated on a separate die chips, your laptop will often get hotter, amd are weaker compared to intel processors. If you want a faster improvement, upgrade the ram to 4gb, use an ssd storage, don't use normal Hdd hard disk

plz do you know the cost for the upgrade?

what type of ram module does your system uses, is it a ddr2 ram or ddr3 ram ? 2gb ddr3 will cost like #2,000 or #2500 depending on the memory speed supported by your hp compaq chipsets since they are of different speeds ranging from 667mhz, 800mhz, 10600mhz, 13333mhz e.t.c
and the SSD storage is expensive compared to the traditional hard disk, it's more faster, efficient, durable than the normal hard disk, because it doesn't use a magnetic rotation tape like the hard disk, so it's faster. The price depends on the storage size, a 256gb SSD should cost around #20,000 or #25,000 for new ones, second hand used ones will cost less.

thanks.... As for the ram module, I don't really know my laptop ram module.. Are there ways of checking it?

thank you so much

emmyloved:
thank you so much

alright

Sell it and upgrade.

Simple: Buy another one.
The AMD of old are mostly trash on Laptop same with Intel Core 2 duo. But not anymore in 2020.
For NGN55K+ you should get an Intel i5 2nd Gen which should be OK.
If you're willing to budget up to 200K u'd get proper AMD | Intel Quad Core with Multi-threading, and with nice aesthetics.

As for your system, it's only good for video watching not even 720p on YouTube.
