Looking for advice please as my knowledge on pc power is very limited. I recently purchased Luminar 4 which was unusable on my pc, going so slow and freezing. Prior to the purchase I have been using an old standalone version of Lightroom which works fine. To their credit Skylum software have offered me a full refund, but I would like a pc that is capable of working such a program. My existing pc is a Toshiba LX830-137, core i5, 4GB RAM, 1TB storage with 750gb still available (apologies if I have missed anything relevent). Someone advised me that if I got a decent SSD and additional RAM it would improve the performance. I have since found out that Skylum minimum requirements and recommended are very different. They suggest i7, SSD and 16gb RAM. I am therefore wondering if I upgraded my 7 year pc with SSD and RAM, do you think it would work, or is the i7 crucial to the processing part. Also apart from the Luminar software, would it be worthwhile upgrading my 7 year old pc with SSD and RAM, or is it so dated, it would just be a waste of money?
