A:Answer Yes. In fact, you can upgrade it up to 32 gigabytes if you wish. The version of Windows 10 that's installed on this computer is already 64 bit, so there's no need to upgrade that.
While the processor speed may look slower, that's simply the "base frequency", which is like the idle speed in a car engine. If the work requires it, the processor can automatically speed itself up all the way the 4.2 GHz. Because the performance of the hard drive is really independent of the speed of the computer, the performance of this hard drive compared to yours should be about the same.
