    A Desktop computer has been received for usage after software installation for boot failure.

    I have run READ & RUN ME FIRST- Malware Removal Guide to make sure there are no Malware. The relevant logs are attached. I would also value any suggestions which may streamline the function of this computer

    Greetings.

    The system is clean. However, the below indicates there is very little available memory which will result in some overall performance issues.

    Will Increasing the RAM capacity lead to improvement of function?

    Greetings.,

    Dell Inc. Vostro 3888

    If it is currently working acceptably well and you do not intend to demand more from the system I think it is survivable. Your computer was manufactured 10+ years ago so there is only so much you can expect from it. In my opinion the answer to your question depends on the intended use. If it is uncomfortably slow or you expect to put greater demands on memory usage then you could benefit from adding more RAM, provided the older type RAM is available. This may give you more available memory but there is only so fast your system can run apart from the memory.

    Bottom line, if it was my computer I would lean more toward not adding RAM unless its current state (or anticipated future demands) is unacceptable.

    OK.
    Thank You for your advice.

    Currently, the person who is using this computer did not complain of being slow. This computer is mainly used for data entry into web-based systems and preparation of Powerpoint presentations. Therefore I have decided not to add more RAM as it may not be cost-effective.

    Thank You for your time & effort.

    Till we meet again, Goodbye!

    If you can't install more RAM in the computer then take a look at your startup programs to see if you can disable any programs you don't want and that will free up more RAM but it won't be much but you might notice a small increase in performance.
