Depends on what you are doing. Upping ram 8 to 16 will help performance. But a faster and larger SSD would probably make you happier in the long run. Some Window 10 settings adjustments will help too. You may want to look into changing the 'paging file' settings in windows - doing so can help the RAM you have to be used more effectively and efficiently. (google will show you the path and performance settings adjustment for the 'paging file'). Generally a bigger SSD won't do much for performance but it will help as your approach max capacity. Opinions vary, but SSDs can start to slow down when they are 80-90% full. But there is and exception: Samsung's EVO Plus 500GB in the NVMe M.2 format. You can replace your current drive or add a second. Personally, I'd clone the one you have onto the Samsung and make the Samsung the primary drive and use your original drive as a Drive D for additional storage. (750 GB total). Both SSDs are quick but the Samsung NVMe EVO PLUS is the quickest read and write SSD on the market at a reasonable price that can actually speed up your computer experience. If it were me and I could only do one option, I'd take the faster Samsung EVO Plus at 500GB, adjust the paging file and never look back! These upgrades are easy to do. Just keep in mind, it may indeed void your warranty.
