A computer, as a complex mechanism, requires periodic updating of its components and their replacement with more powerful ones. This complex process is called an upgrade for convenience.
Instructions
Step 1
The word "upgrade" in translation from English means growth, modernization, improvement of something. Currently, it is most often referred to as the process of replacing components of a personal computer in order to improve its performance. The need for an upgrade arises if the user notices that certain programs and system services have become slower or cause system failures. This may mean that the computer cannot handle large amounts of information and needs to be improved. Also, an upgrade becomes necessary if the latest software is purchased that requires more advanced hardware to work than what is currently installed.
Step 2
You can improve both the entire computer at once, and its individual components. If several years have passed since the last upgrade, you can safely purchase a new system unit and other components. But it is better to periodically improve and replace individual components, depending on certain tasks.
Step 3
Most often, gaming computers need an upgrade, since every year computer games become more and more complex in technical terms. Proceeding from this, to increase the performance of the machine, users can increase the volume of the hard drive, RAM, processor frequency, choose a better optical drive, improve the video card or sound card, which will avoid "brakes" during the game process and fully feel the power of modern technologies.
Step 4
Also, an upgrade can be called the addition of some additional devices, depending on certain needs. These include Wi-Fi adapters, network cards, additional connectors, TV tuners and other components.
Step 5
The user himself can upgrade a computer or assemble it from scratch. To do this, you need to be well versed in various technical aspects, be able to configure the equipment. The parts required for the upgrade can be ordered online or purchased from a computer hardware store. Those who are not very well versed in the structure of a computer can order a complete upgrade of the equipment in a store or a specialized center. This package of services can be more expensive, but the assembly of the computer will be more reliable, which eliminates the premature failure of components.
