Hi everyone,

I recently receive an old all in one PC from my nephews to help boost up the speed of the PC.

PC is a Lenovo C355. Use Samsung Data Migration and cloned data to Samsung 850 Evo 500gb.

The issue is the PC is still extremely slow after OS optimization. The PC lag. I check it is in ACHI mode. When I plug it into another desktop the SDD was fast. But going back to the Lenovo was a major lag. Try every way. Is it possible the motherboard does not support SATA 3? Any help would be appreciated.

A SSD compared to a HDD doenst "improve" performance overall. It just shortens the Loading times, usually.
The thing is: if you have a computer with a slow CPU and HDD and the CPU is already not fast enought to process all the data that the HDD is throwing at him then a SSD wouldnt improve anything there since the CPU isnt able to keep up with all the data you throw at him.

Upgrading RAM could help, yes, but i am not 100% sure and at this point i wouldnt spend more money trying to make this pc faster unless you have compatible RAM already laying around.

I would like to provide more information about this pc/laptop but lenovo isnt really talking about whats inside and doenst even have a product page anymore. So everyhting you can find...

I would say that the CPU a E2-3000 from AMD is the problem... Its a CPU from 2011 with 1.8Ghz and maximum of 2.4 and 4Gb ddr3.
Since it is a prebuild pc / Laptop (what ever you wanna call it) there is no official data about things like the motheboard.

But even if SATA3 isnt supported, Sata 2 should be and still be better then a HDD (if you compare data throughput)

Thanks cookiemania. But what I don't understand is shouldn't new SSD improve the performance of an old PC? Regardless of the CPU? Would upgrading the RAM help?
