Throwing in more RAM couldn’t hurt and should be pretty cheap to do.

If you would even be able to upgrade it. I would put more ram in and an SSD (if you can clone the drive)

Hold up. Your *hospital* is running an OS that fell out of support three years ago? Your company has a problem, and it ain’t lack of RAM.

Holy shit, I forgot the Windows Experience Index used to be a thing.

If the ram is non upgradable and soldered, consider a mini pc. They’re relatively cheap and an acceptable speed for office work. Minisforum and beelink are good brands.

Insufficient RAM, the more easy thing to fix

Wait. Windows 7 and 4gb of RAM?!
Hello 2010.

What do you work as?

Add a regular 128gb SSD (don’t give em money, they should give you) install Windows 10 or 11, (It really doesn’t care) and you’re ready to go.

to be fair, the name of the PC checks out

Why is your hospital still running Windows 7? That’s super dangerous!

As much as the US health system costs. This is a joke in and of itself.

Hey that’s my CPU and I love hospitals.

I bet that thing runs off a conventional hard drive. I wouldn’t want to run anything more modern on that either because it’ll be even worse.
Also, 32 bit Windows 7 on a 3rd gen i5 system? But *why*.

Find your IT staff and beg.

Wonder if the hospital system ever got a pen test.

Could still be rocking rotary HDD. With an ssd it wouldn’t be the worst machine “for work”

What,…. Windows 7?. That old and not safe anymore. As a company you shouldn’t use 7 anymore.

If its government mandated, Try asking the IT if they can replace it. Is this a laptop or PC btw?

Those stats remind me of our School pcs,I once opened Taskmanager and both Cpu and Gpu were 80% used despite nothing being open

4gb of ram was absolutely fine on win7. After all these years it’s probably the old drive slowing down the whole system. But holy shit a unsupported OS on a hospital machine sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

32 bit OS ???
The-Night-0WL
Bro the computer is in the hospital. It’s slow because it obviously has a VIRUS. Otherwise why would it be in the hospital? /s
Catch_022
Yes and then they add some random anti virus that completely destroys the performance even further

Trauma Office? That PC will give its user trauma too. That specs looks straight up from 2012(I have exact same CPU on my PC from that era).

Dang my PC used to be worse than this.

I thought it was a English NHS hospital for a second with it running Windows 7 🤣
