If you can identify the motherborad, you should be able to find it's memory specs on line. In general you should be able to add a matching stick with no problems. Before you get carried away, you need to know the max memory your boars supports. Boards have the id info imprinted on them. Good luck.

Best way to speed it up is to install a SSD drive instead of a old type spinning drive.
I like the Samsung units. It will make a huge improvement if you don't have one. https://www.newegg.com/samsung-500gb...SoldByNewegg=1

Yes, have someone at your local computer shop do it if u lack the skills or possible a local kid that's a computer geek.
It will be worth the effort.
