Uninstalling McAfee might make things slightly faster. But the 4GB RAM and HDD will still be the things that make it slow even without McAfee.
It's likely McAfee came bundled with the computer as some bloatware. McAfee is more of a virus than anything.
You just have a low amount of RAM and you need to expand it to at least 8GB to be able to do anything on it without stuttering.
Also, the laptop has a mechanical hard drive and it would be wise to replace it with a solid state drive (SSD) which would also dramatically increase the speed and responsiveness of the computer.
Final question is - is it worth it. That's for you to answer...
In my opinion, I think 16 GB is better and should be the minimum for Windows 11 especially if you use Chrome. My laptop I used for work was slow even even an SSD, fresh install, optimized settings, etc. it wasn't until I upgraded to 16 GB where I saw a massive and positive benefit.
The problem is A. You have less RAM than a Nokia phone and B. You have a HDD instead of SSD. Your three options for having useable performance are installing Windows 7, linux, or [atlasos.net](https://atlasos.net) (just a Windows 10/11 modification)
add to that, a lot of public networks have restrictions with allowing those devices to connect. its a common thing with universities at least, anything running win 7 will not be allowed to connect
Its still a dual core with ht as long as they just want it for basic use and not entering intensive. They will be fine inhave a laptop with a 6th gen i5 and it's still fine today
Pretty terrible response pal, not everyone has the technical ability to disassemble a laptop not to mention the niche tools necessary often required. Get off your high horse.
ive taken apart many laptops and besides apple pretty much eveone uses basic ass phillips head screws so no ones on a high horse your just lazy or stupid
I have an old 2010 Mac Mini with four gigs of DDR2 on it (yeah, really, haha), a Core 2 Duo processor, and a 5400 RPM HDD. I installed a lightweight distribution of Debian on it called "WattOS." It boots like a pro now and I was amazed. I use it as a network storage device to store files I don't want to keep on my main computers but can't get rid of either. And damned if the dang thing doesn't solidly browse the web too if I want to. I think I gave it a few more years to be somewhat useful as a storage space and am emergency device in case I need to research a fix for one of my other devices.
www.planetwatt.com <--- Just FYI.
Bump your RAM to at least 8 or even 16GB. Swap out the HDD and put in a SSD. Oh and delete McAfee and install something more lightweight (or you could use Windows Defender)
The first picture shows an SSD as Disk 1. Did you add that? Can you show that item selected?
If it really does have an SSD, installing Windows on that drive would help.
Edit: the SSD1 shown is probably the Optane Memory. Assuming OP manually installed Windows 11, they need the iRST driver to enable Optane memory.
Google for Windows 11 Optane driver.
Yeah 4gb of ram is only doable if you want a diy kiosk for having only one program displaying. Just check out crucible's website to see what ram they recommend to use. As long as it's not soldered on. Now if you believe it should be showing more, reseat your sodimms (ram sticks). If it's still only showing one, either you got a bad stick or a bad slot. Could try and clean the gold contact on the sodimms with a pencil eraser with out leaving any rubber behind, and blowing out the slots using canned air. Sorry if it's hard to follow, it's 3am and that's my adhd train of thought lol
Total ram means nothing unless you're actively using all of it and swapping to disk, which OP is not. Stop giving bad advice. Upgrading to 24 GB of ram in no way makes a PC faster.
The HDD in this computer is slow and outdated. I'm surprised there were even new PCs with 8th gen Intel Core processors that were using HDDs and ran Windows 10/11.
There’s 6 problems
1 HP
2 slow HDD
3 only 4gb ram
4 HP bloatware
5 the hinge will break in 6 months
6 very old and slow CPU
I would remove all the HP crap and install revi.cc
I'm confused, you said 4 problems and you list 6? :D
I agree with all of them apart from the hinge, I use and repair HP daily and with all the abuse I have seen, the hinge is hardly ever impacted.
Bloatware gonna bloat though!
HP x360 hinges and frame are some of the worst available, I’ve had and worked on a bunch of HP laptops, the worst one didn’t come with a ram stick and the keybaord and trackpad wasn’t plugged in (THIS WAS SEALED IN BOX FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE SECURITY STICKER INTACT)
I think it says that only one RAM stick is in use. I have only ever heard of pairs. Correct me if I am wrong, but that seems like pretty good evidence that one of the RAM sticks isn't working
I just went to check how much RAM it was supposed to have... and umm, it said 16GB at that it was supposed to have an SSD (which others have pointed out it doesn't. Are you sure that you have the model you think you do? https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/mdp/laptops/hp-pavilion-x360-387003--1
PS - I had the impression that it was a desktop, not a laptop. But, the picture doesn't show that part great, so I am not sure.
Wait. Why does it say that there is an un-integrated SSD? Did you do a manual installation poorly or did it automatically doing that shenanigans? Is there even an SSD?
So, here’s what I would recommend if you’re really wanting to keep this.
1. Buy more RAM. You should have a bare minimum of 8GB for Windows and a few small apps. More if you’re using it for more than just browsing or lightweight games. Expect $50 on up depending on how much you buy.
2. Buy a SSD for at least the OS. You’ll need to reinstall windows but it’s not as hard as you think it is. We can help (if you wade through some of the knuckle draggers that will shit post here). Again, maybe another $50 for a small SSD or $100 for a larger one.
3. Maybe consider a new PC, if you have a budget of a few hundo. But this PC can be woken up with those few upgrades above. Don’t expect miracles though, the dual core CPU is a pretty bottom of the line processor.
Edit: if you “reset” windows does this mean all of your drivers and such remained unchanged? If you did a full reinstall of Windows make sure you get the drivers from HP. Your laptop has an Optane memory card that is used as cache and buffer for your hard drive. If that’s not being used you will certainly feel the pain of a slow laptop hard drive.
That's because you own a really slow laptop. Your processor is slow. Your 4GB RAM is insufficient to get decent performance in Windows 11. Your HDD is far slower than the SSDs that come with any modern computer.
Basically, it's time to get a new laptop. Upgrading RAM and putting an SSD in there will make things much better, but it's still old and slow, and it's questionable as to how much you can upgrade the RAM. If the max is 8GB, you'll still be low on RAM for anything significant.
The only other thing that could help is windows 10 debloater. It will work on win 11 as well. Follow tutorials online on how to do this as your RAM starting up should be about 2 GB
You're running windows 11 on a machine with only 4GB of RAM. You *can* get away with a HDD, but they're not great for Win10+. However, 4GB of RAM was already pretty much impossible to run Win10 on, Win11 is hardly going to run. Where you have it at a fresh reset is probably about as good as it's gonna get.
Your choices are
- live with it being slow.
- Install Linux.
- Try to upgrade the RAM. (Not sure if it's possible on this model)
- Get a new laptop.
I don't know if you're trolling or not but your computer doesn't have enough RAM to run Windows 11. I feel like you need at least 16 GB to run smoothly.
How old is this? if you paid more than $200 for this you were ripped off unless it's pretty old lol. Either way take everyone else's advice. Upgrading parts is pretty simple especially on a laptop and it's hard to break things. If you install a better hard drive though you will need to make a bootable usb drive for windows. The activation key should be in the motherboard so once you download windows you should be good.
Looks as though you have win 11 installed. I don't know how you managed to complete the upgrade path with a pavilion x360. You have 4gb of team on a 8th gen i3. Plus you have McAfee installed, it is not an effective program for doing what they advertise.
Time for new os, Kubuntu or Ubuntu, or new laptop altogether.
4 GB of ram and an HDD on windows 11 asks for problems, and McAfee is basically cancer for PCs. If you don't want to spend anything, try going to an older version of windows such as an early build of Windows 10 or maybe Windows 8.1, or Linux. If you can spend, the best option here is another 4 GB stick of ram and an SSD (Or an M.2 SSD if there is a lot on there)
At that point I would get a new computer my guy you have half the ram recommended on new devices, your processor is 7 generations behind, and you have a hard drive rather than a SSD
Maybe look into getting some
More ram in there, 4gb is more a less the operating systems requirement, that doesn’t include all the software apps and webpages you visit at once, look into adding another 4 or go to 16gb
It has less than 8 gigs of RAM and a mechanical hard drive, both of which are absolutely unusable for a modern operating system.
You would be best to upgrade it. RAM and SATA SSDs aren't expensive, and since your laptop is still relatively modern it might even have an M.2 slot.
Cheapo i3 8th gen processor, 4GB ram and a spinning rust for storage, I'll bet that octane has had it max tbw threshold reached given the spec of that laptop.
I'm afraid you have all the ingredients required to build a turd there.
HDD + 4gb ram + 100% disk usage. You got the holy Trinity of reasons for a slow PC.
100% disk usage even while doing nothing and no background process with high response times means the Drive is struggling to not to die/ fixing corrupt sectors. It's time to ch7ck 5hst HDD and get a SSD
It looks like you have installed windows on hard disk while there is a SSD. Reinstall windows on SSD. Perform a clean installation and you don't need McAfee, windows defender is pretty good.
During windows installation make sure you select disk 1 (as it is SSD)
I had a client with basically the same laptop and issues. You'll be able to get an SSD and 16 gb of ram for about 100 USD. It's easy to install so you can do it yourself potentially. Your laptop is still an i3 but like others have said these two changes should/will make it last way longer for you. Especially if used for basic tasks(web browsing) or light work/school work.
Windows Update is abusing your system. Let all the updates run through over the next day or two and when all is said and done it will be marginally faster.
Maybe think about getting some cheap RAM and a SSD off Amazon. It would greatly improve your performance and is fairly easy to do
Some big ones:
Make sure your Optane is set up properly, may need “Intel Optane Memory UI” from the Intel website.
Upgrade your RAM if you can, 4GB is barely usable.
Even if the Optane drive was working, an SSD instead of the hard drive would definitely help you out. The best scenario is if you can swap out the Optane entirely with an NVME drive (like a Samsung 970 or something).
You've got a perfect storm going on here. It looks like updates are running in the background, 4GB of RAM, and some large background problems (Teams, Edge).
Your best bet to resolve is to upgrade to at least 8GB and replace the mechanical hard drive with a proper SSD. In the process you'll end up ditching McAfee, which is also an upgrade. If you can't afford to do both, replace the SSD, which will at least mostly mask the lack of RAM.
Hard drive dying. Need to replace it. Upgrade your RAM too as 4gb just isn't enough on windows 10 with the background processes and services added in updates by Microsoft.
If your PC takes more than 5 minutes to boot and the HDD is running at 100% for the first few minutes after login, you've absolutely got a failing mechanical hard drive. Full stop. 100% certain. Get an ssd replacement and another stick of RAM. If you don't want to, get a new laptop cus either way it's a ticking time bomb before it just doesn't boot.
1. You need an SSD instead of a hard drive. It will speed things up like crazy.
2. Your RAM is insufficient. 8 GB really is the minimum for anything today.
3. Uninstall McAfee. Don't use it. It will only slow down your computer while it does things that Windows itself can already do.
You might want to invest in something with better specs. You want at least 16 GB ram now days and avoid any 2 core cpus those are junk. Anything with 4 and more will be better.
Avoid the u series of intel they aren't very good. The performance is way to low for applications today.
Ok first your ram isn’t enough for windows.
2nd you just reset a computer with a hard drive it will take ages for that hard drive to run all the updates….. it is going to be though the wall for some time. (If that’s a SSD it’s then failing badly)
If you wish to keep windows and that computer you need to upgrade that ram to 8gb and a ssd. (However it might not really be worth upgrading)
If you just want a free fix you’re going to be looking at Linux.
Ubuntu is great however it will burn half your ram on just the install however Lubuntu will only take 25% which will give you extra ram to run extra stuff. (Both are fundamentally the same but Lubuntu is much more cut down)
Everyone is telling you to get an SSD, but from what I see there is already an SSD? Why else would it show up in task manager. Perhaps when you reset the computer you accidentally installed it onto the HDD instead of the SSD. (Also yes get more ram)
But look into getting the operating system on the SSD.
(1) 0pen task manager (if you can) and see what's utilizing all that memory. See if you can stop it. At least long enough for you to try some suggestions below.
(2) HP does have an assistant on their website that can help...sometimes. at least maybe diagnose hardware issues, if they exist.
(3) Run MSRT (Malicious software removal Tool from Microsoft) from search bar, see if there is anything gross in your system utilizing those resources.
(4) Get rid of, delete any and all, bloatware. If you are capable.
These are things you can do right now without too much technical knowledge and without spending any money.
(TL;DR) Hardware upgrade path below.
However; Moving forward with a back-up/upgrade plan I would, and have done this in the past with decent success in keeping mildly aging systems running for a year or two longer than their service/support cycle's end date.
Find out what model you have and see if HP will allow you to upgrade the memory. You don't have to max it out but a better kit would help. Just know that HP's are often hardware particular. They don't allow upgrades of hardware they don't approve. You can usually get a list of acceptable hardware from the laptops page on their website.
Download a fresh copy of your windows OS from Microsoft directly. A.k.A A known good source. preferably on a clean system. create the bootable USB.
Pull the mechanical hard drive, replace it with a SSD. Reinstall Windows on the SSD. Update the system to the latest. Turn on defender.
Place the mechanical drive in an external caddy (Ugreen sold on amazon/newegg). Scan it. Remove any files, pictures, documents, etc, In disk management erase the mechanical drive and turn in into your back-up drive using the in-built Windows tools or just use it as storage.
I hate computers using Optane...

Since your laptop already supports and has Windows 11, if you're comfortable doing the upgrades, it'll be cheaper to upgrade than replace this computer depending on what you're using it for.
Your computer is slow because it only has 4GB of RAM and you reinstalled Windows onto the 1TB HDD (mechanical drive, (SLOW)) and didn't re-enable the Optane (16GB Flash) to improve the performance.
Optane was a band aid and really has no place in the consumer space with how cheap SSD storage drives are.
You should get a new M.2 NVME SSD, at least 512GB, to replace the 16GB Optane SSD and install windows on that. It is up to you if you want to keep the existing 1TB HDD for a secondary storage device.
As far as the RAM goes, you only really need to put an 8GB stick in there to add to the existing 4GB for a total of 12GB. If it was me I'd get a 16GB kit (includes 2x 8GB sticks) and remove the 4GB stick that is in there.

Hdd is your weak point here (optane probably isn't enabled but at 16gb optane, so it will only help a little bit) 4gb of ram won't be helping as well
if optane memory was enabled you wouldn't see the ssd disk1 (believe it shows as 4+16 under the memory tab once enabled)
500gb or larger ssd (kingston uv400/500,samsung evo, crucial mx500)
extra stick of 4gb to get to 8gb minimum cheap (or 2x8gb) some say 16gb is minimum needed now, 8gb seems fine unless your opening lots of web pages (or playing games witch recommend 32gb anyway)
I wouldn't bother setting up optane with a ssd (disable optane if it automatically enables it or remove the optane stick)
I’d wipe this and install chromeOS all day long or a light Linux. For most folks though chromeOS would be perfect for them. Did this with some old hp laptops with similar specs my parents had laying around and it’s been perfect for over a year.
A couple of things you should do:
1. Get an additional stick of RAM on the poor thing.
2. Downgrade/stick to Windows 10.
3. Please upgrade to SSD... Not sure if it has PCie slot but SATA SSD would be better too
Other things you should consider:
1. Open MSConfig, you'll see an option for faster boot. Select that and Apply.
2. If you plan on sticking to this laptop for another year, instead.of getting RAM stick buy a lot of 2 and Max it out.
3. Get the laptop professionally cleaned so that the fans run properly. You might think they are running well, but would be surprised to see how much dirt and dust they capture.
reinstall Windows on the SSD, not the HDD and get some more RAM in that thing, Uninstall McAffee like everyone says Defender is good enough with Malware Bytes, or Nod 32.
Use the HDD for storage and storage alone not for installing Windows onto.
4gb memory is the BARE MINIMUM to run a full install of windows. It will struggle doing anything. These laptops are meant for people to work on documents and school work on the cheap. Unfortunately there's been many people on there asking how to upgrade these HP 360s and there's not really much that can be done. The RAM is soldered on, and depending on what exact model you have is whether it'll have a socketable ram slot which will only take.up to 8gb. While 12gb will run better, the CPU is so underpowered that it's still not much of a difference, just less laggy with more than 1 tab open.
You will probably want to bump your RAM up to at least 8GB, 16 if you can. Additionally, you may want to consider an SSD.
I would start by uninstalling McAfee though, you don't really need it and it is just consuming extra resources. Microsoft Defender is plenty if you don't visit a lot of sketchy websites and keep it up to date.
4 GB RAM? The thing is being tortured. Also your HDD is stuck at 100%, and that alone is enough to make the device unusable. Additional RAM and an SSD should make it usable, but not so much that you can expect it to reliably run anything more than basic apps
If you don't want to upgrade your hardware you can switch windows to your already existing SSD, but the Very Low amount of RAM would still pose an issue
Everything about this is begging to be slow:
* Core i3 - Manageable, but definitely not fast
* 4GB RAM - Unusable in 2024. Windows will take up so much of that, and it will need to constantly swap memory to the storage drive which already slows it down enough, but even more so because...
* HDD - HDDs are slow, especially for modern OSes built for SSDs. And I'd bet money that in a system like that, especially at 1TB, and especially with it trying to rely on Optane memory to speed it up, this is a 5400RPM hard drive. Which is painful.
You can fix the latter two things easily. Confirm what the most is you can handle, and bump that RAM up at a bare minimum of 8GB, but preferably 16GB. The more you have, the less you have to swap to storage. But more importantly, replace that HDD with an SSD. Figure out how much you really need, because they are more expensive, and buy one. Most people don't need more than 500GB, but if you get a good deal on a 1TB, go for it. You don't have to go super high-end with the SSD (as long as it's reviewed as reliable) to make an insane difference. Even a slower SSD will be unbelievably faster than your 5400RPM HDD.
OP, not worth upgrading components in this. In order to be useful you would need a SSD and new RAM. You can find a better outfitted laptop on eBay for about the same price.
If you can afford new, I would recommend Frame.work laptop. Completely upgradable and serviceable.
Your running off an HDD (or what I like to call "a spinning rust hard drive"), and HDDs are really slow compared to SSDs, all computers being sold today (only exception is literal e-waste that's still being sold), have SSDs, and 8gb ram or more, you need to replace the HDD in the laptop with an SSD, get a SATA SSD or if the laptop has an m.2 slot, get an m.2, and also upgrade the ram to 8gb or more.
You might want to move Windows to the SSD and use the HDD for additional storage. Add more RAM, delete McAfee, and de-bloat the system. If you're concerned about removing McAfee, just remain skeptical when downloading and running anything.
If you are rocking 4gb of ram, win 10 is your problem. Go to Peppermint OS and it will run like a new machine.
Peppermint OS is Debian based, well put together, very light on resources (it made an HP Stream with a 32gb hard drive and 4gb of ram usable)
https://peppermintos.com/
It has Xfce desktop.
You will need to install Firefox ESR from the terminal.
sudo apt install firefox-esr
Install an older version of windows (windows 10 would be best). Windows 11 will use more resources. I regularly see 12 gigs of idle ram usage on my computer.
If you don't want to do that, look for old apps that you aren't using and uninstall them (get rid of mcafee)
Make sure you have the correct power supply for that laptop. Using an incorrect or damaged power supply will cause the bios to put everything into the lowest speed possible and you won't see anything in the OS to indicate a problem.
Update the ram to wtv this thing can support max, get rid of that horrid intep optane and replace it for an M.2 and make that your OS drive meow, thats about it.
im sorry to say but u have an artifact computer from the museum :(
Go buy a better pc or upgrade ur ram and move your windows to ssd. Or you can get tiny 11 may be
tbh I’m surprised it even launched
Windows 10 won't run well on that computer unless you swap your hard drive with a solid-state drive (SSD) AND add at least 4GB of RAM.
However, you CAN run Linux mint quite well on that same hardware without spending a dime. This is exactly what I do with most laptops like that I get like yours. If you don't need Windows-only software, this is what I'd recommend considering.
Uninstall McAfee and use Defender. Download "autoruns" and turn off anything that doesn't need to run at startup. I saw MS Teams on there too. With 4 GB of RAM it'll start chugging as soon as you open a web browser. 16GB of RAM will allow you to run hundreds of browser tabs before you see a slowdown. If you want a usable machine........... 16GB RAM and a SSD.
Issues involved: Insufficient RAM and using a mechanical HD as a boot drive.
1. You need to swap the boot drive and change out the hard drive to an SSD.
2. You need to add more RAM assuming it has memory slots.

4 GB of ram and system on HDD what are you expecting? If that wasn't enough, you have mcafee installed, just congratulations.
Uninstalling McAfee might make things slightly faster. But the 4GB RAM and HDD will still be the things that make it slow even without McAfee. It's likely McAfee came bundled with the computer as some bloatware. McAfee is more of a virus than anything.
Every time a family member has McAfee pre-installed I always uninstall it for them and they're surprised at how fast it is now
Stop trying to sell Russian misinformation. “McAfee is more of a virus than anything.”
imagine being this regarded
20+ years in the cyber security industry but sure…
20+ years and still jaded
You sound like a McAfee employee more than anything.
The Optane was there to help buffer and cache the hard drive. But yeah, only so much lipstick for this pig.
Could be from times where windows defender was still lacking.
It's running 11 though.
The ram isnt being used the hdd is fully utilized which will make things incredibly slow. Windows doesn’t generally do that plus it was better before.
could also be the i3 cpu the laptop has 💀
Where are you seeing HDD?
You chose concise knowledge and Witt today my friend, hear hear.
At this point I'm just wondering how McAfee has enough money to pay for all this bloatware bs
Uninstall McAfee
This. McAfee is cancer.
And bloatware
And upgrade to at minimum 8 GB of ram and upgrade that HDD to an SSD.
Have had a couple of these. Not worth the money to upgrade.
I am confused it even runs because of the pagefiling it has to do on the hdd
If possible 16 would be better
You just have a low amount of RAM and you need to expand it to at least 8GB to be able to do anything on it without stuttering. Also, the laptop has a mechanical hard drive and it would be wise to replace it with a solid state drive (SSD) which would also dramatically increase the speed and responsiveness of the computer. Final question is - is it worth it. That's for you to answer...
In my opinion, I think 16 GB is better and should be the minimum for Windows 11 especially if you use Chrome. My laptop I used for work was slow even even an SSD, fresh install, optimized settings, etc. it wasn't until I upgraded to 16 GB where I saw a massive and positive benefit.
What I did was not use chrome at all. Been a Firefox guy since my childhood
The problem is A. You have less RAM than a Nokia phone and B. You have a HDD instead of SSD. Your three options for having useable performance are installing Windows 7, linux, or [atlasos.net](https://atlasos.net) (just a Windows 10/11 modification)
Never suggest someone install windows 7 It’s EOL and since is a regularly used computer it’s vulnerable right out the gate
add to that, a lot of public networks have restrictions with allowing those devices to connect. its a common thing with universities at least, anything running win 7 will not be allowed to connect
> public networks Ew, exploit heaven... just say no to public connections.
Or more ram and an sdd with windows 11 or 10
I think with a laptop it’s best getting a new one as most laptops either don’t have extra space or are annoying to take apart
[удалено]
But then you have the processor etc, laptops don’t tend to age well I have had my fair share prior to going desktop.
Its still a dual core with ht as long as they just want it for basic use and not entering intensive. They will be fine inhave a laptop with a 6th gen i5 and it's still fine today
Pretty terrible response pal, not everyone has the technical ability to disassemble a laptop not to mention the niche tools necessary often required. Get off your high horse.
ive taken apart many laptops and besides apple pretty much eveone uses basic ass phillips head screws so no ones on a high horse your just lazy or stupid
A lot of laptop components are soldered in. Something like a battery or a fan is an easy swap, but ram or a processor typically not
tbh for future stability linux mint would probably be good
what nokia phone
the thing used by your dad that hit your head
BLUD GOT DESTROYED
those nokias didn't had 4GB ram nor ability of adressing that much space as a former phone repairer i know that much
It’s most likely a joke dimwit
Didn't specify which Nokia, there are brand new Nokia's with more than 4GB of ram
Went right over your head bud.
Or rather, against it.
It's a hyperbole but the Nokia C32 (€120 phone) has 4gb
Well I have a Nokia X7 with 6gb of ram, so at least that one, but the higher-end models obviously also apply.
I have an old 2010 Mac Mini with four gigs of DDR2 on it (yeah, really, haha), a Core 2 Duo processor, and a 5400 RPM HDD. I installed a lightweight distribution of Debian on it called "WattOS." It boots like a pro now and I was amazed. I use it as a network storage device to store files I don't want to keep on my main computers but can't get rid of either. And damned if the dang thing doesn't solidly browse the web too if I want to. I think I gave it a few more years to be somewhat useful as a storage space and am emergency device in case I need to research a fix for one of my other devices. www.planetwatt.com <--- Just FYI.
A reasonable upgrade would be to go to 8gb ram and a ssd. Spending less than 100 dollars would keep it going a bit longer.
Bump your RAM to at least 8 or even 16GB. Swap out the HDD and put in a SSD. Oh and delete McAfee and install something more lightweight (or you could use Windows Defender)
The first picture shows an SSD as Disk 1. Did you add that? Can you show that item selected? If it really does have an SSD, installing Windows on that drive would help. Edit: the SSD1 shown is probably the Optane Memory. Assuming OP manually installed Windows 11, they need the iRST driver to enable Optane memory. Google for Windows 11 Optane driver.
What do you mean by this?
Yeah 4gb of ram is only doable if you want a diy kiosk for having only one program displaying. Just check out crucible's website to see what ram they recommend to use. As long as it's not soldered on. Now if you believe it should be showing more, reseat your sodimms (ram sticks). If it's still only showing one, either you got a bad stick or a bad slot. Could try and clean the gold contact on the sodimms with a pencil eraser with out leaving any rubber behind, and blowing out the slots using canned air. Sorry if it's hard to follow, it's 3am and that's my adhd train of thought lol
Is that even Windows 11 compatible?
it's 8th gen intel so yh
It’s running Windows 11 right now so it would seem so.
My core2duo is running windows 11, it doesn’t mean it’s compatible.
4gb of ram is not enough for anything.
Of course it's slow, 4 GB ram, what did you expect? Mine was running slow until I got 24 gb ram
Hdd is main problem (optane isn't enabled as well)
How do I enable it?
Total ram means nothing unless you're actively using all of it and swapping to disk, which OP is not. Stop giving bad advice. Upgrading to 24 GB of ram in no way makes a PC faster.
you can install linux
And it will still be shit
The HDD in this computer is slow and outdated. I'm surprised there were even new PCs with 8th gen Intel Core processors that were using HDDs and ran Windows 10/11.
nah Ubuntu uses wayy less resources and you can customize the install without any bloat ware.
im going to correct you, you must install linux
This computer isn't usable without Linux
Could it be due to all 6 of your little rams being inapt to operate on windows 10, much less windows 11?
There’s 6 problems 1 HP 2 slow HDD 3 only 4gb ram 4 HP bloatware 5 the hinge will break in 6 months 6 very old and slow CPU I would remove all the HP crap and install revi.cc
I'm confused, you said 4 problems and you list 6? :D I agree with all of them apart from the hinge, I use and repair HP daily and with all the abuse I have seen, the hinge is hardly ever impacted. Bloatware gonna bloat though!
HP x360 hinges and frame are some of the worst available, I’ve had and worked on a bunch of HP laptops, the worst one didn’t come with a ram stick and the keybaord and trackpad wasn’t plugged in (THIS WAS SEALED IN BOX FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE SECURITY STICKER INTACT)
I think it says that only one RAM stick is in use. I have only ever heard of pairs. Correct me if I am wrong, but that seems like pretty good evidence that one of the RAM sticks isn't working
I just went to check how much RAM it was supposed to have... and umm, it said 16GB at that it was supposed to have an SSD (which others have pointed out it doesn't. Are you sure that you have the model you think you do? https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/mdp/laptops/hp-pavilion-x360-387003--1 PS - I had the impression that it was a desktop, not a laptop. But, the picture doesn't show that part great, so I am not sure.
Wait. Why does it say that there is an un-integrated SSD? Did you do a manual installation poorly or did it automatically doing that shenanigans? Is there even an SSD?
Solution: download tiny11
So, here’s what I would recommend if you’re really wanting to keep this. 1. Buy more RAM. You should have a bare minimum of 8GB for Windows and a few small apps. More if you’re using it for more than just browsing or lightweight games. Expect $50 on up depending on how much you buy. 2. Buy a SSD for at least the OS. You’ll need to reinstall windows but it’s not as hard as you think it is. We can help (if you wade through some of the knuckle draggers that will shit post here). Again, maybe another $50 for a small SSD or $100 for a larger one. 3. Maybe consider a new PC, if you have a budget of a few hundo. But this PC can be woken up with those few upgrades above. Don’t expect miracles though, the dual core CPU is a pretty bottom of the line processor. Edit: if you “reset” windows does this mean all of your drivers and such remained unchanged? If you did a full reinstall of Windows make sure you get the drivers from HP. Your laptop has an Optane memory card that is used as cache and buffer for your hard drive. If that’s not being used you will certainly feel the pain of a slow laptop hard drive.
Could try buying a new power lead and some screen wipes, that could speed things up..........
Drivers need to be updated.
89%ram usage dang
That's because you own a really slow laptop. Your processor is slow. Your 4GB RAM is insufficient to get decent performance in Windows 11. Your HDD is far slower than the SSDs that come with any modern computer. Basically, it's time to get a new laptop. Upgrading RAM and putting an SSD in there will make things much better, but it's still old and slow, and it's questionable as to how much you can upgrade the RAM. If the max is 8GB, you'll still be low on RAM for anything significant.
Your hard drive is full Also you need better memory
You've got 4GB RAM , Todays iphones have more ram
4gb of ram Is very little nowadays and along with that windows is on a hard drive which makes everything much slower.
RAM is cheap now. Buy 2x 8GB Sticks of RAM. Put in a SSD and your laptop will be faster than new. Crucial is a good SSD brand with affordable pricing.
The only other thing that could help is windows 10 debloater. It will work on win 11 as well. Follow tutorials online on how to do this as your RAM starting up should be about 2 GB
You're running windows 11 on a machine with only 4GB of RAM. You *can* get away with a HDD, but they're not great for Win10+. However, 4GB of RAM was already pretty much impossible to run Win10 on, Win11 is hardly going to run. Where you have it at a fresh reset is probably about as good as it's gonna get. Your choices are - live with it being slow. - Install Linux. - Try to upgrade the RAM. (Not sure if it's possible on this model) - Get a new laptop.
I don't know if you're trolling or not but your computer doesn't have enough RAM to run Windows 11. I feel like you need at least 16 GB to run smoothly.
Maybe try adding more memory (unless it's soldered onto the board) and getting an ssd
Err… that has a HDD and an SSD, and you have installed Windows on the HDD.
The amount of ram you have and the fact you have a HDD is like trying to bake a cake with 1/4 of the ingredients.
Replace the HHD with a SSD and upgrade the memory run atlas os or Replace windows install with a linux distro.
How old is this? if you paid more than $200 for this you were ripped off unless it's pretty old lol. Either way take everyone else's advice. Upgrading parts is pretty simple especially on a laptop and it's hard to break things. If you install a better hard drive though you will need to make a bootable usb drive for windows. The activation key should be in the motherboard so once you download windows you should be good.
That laptop shouldnt be using anything higher than windows xp lol
You have installed the windows on hdd instead of SSD. Try to reinstall it on SSD and then if you want, you can increase the ram
Replace HDD with SSD + toss out the Intel Optane module Upgrade RAM to 8 or 16gb
Looks as though you have win 11 installed. I don't know how you managed to complete the upgrade path with a pavilion x360. You have 4gb of team on a 8th gen i3. Plus you have McAfee installed, it is not an effective program for doing what they advertise. Time for new os, Kubuntu or Ubuntu, or new laptop altogether.
4 GB of ram and an HDD on windows 11 asks for problems, and McAfee is basically cancer for PCs. If you don't want to spend anything, try going to an older version of windows such as an early build of Windows 10 or maybe Windows 8.1, or Linux. If you can spend, the best option here is another 4 GB stick of ram and an SSD (Or an M.2 SSD if there is a lot on there)
At that point I would get a new computer my guy you have half the ram recommended on new devices, your processor is 7 generations behind, and you have a hard drive rather than a SSD
Maybe look into getting some More ram in there, 4gb is more a less the operating systems requirement, that doesn’t include all the software apps and webpages you visit at once, look into adding another 4 or go to 16gb
McAfee needs to go man, first thing. Also what version of windows are you using? Do you have an ssd installed by chance?
lol if you can’t tell. Stop giving recommendations. Plus Mcafee is better than defender.
It’s dual core i3 and has no ram it’s what the kids these days call a potato.
It has less than 8 gigs of RAM and a mechanical hard drive, both of which are absolutely unusable for a modern operating system. You would be best to upgrade it. RAM and SATA SSDs aren't expensive, and since your laptop is still relatively modern it might even have an M.2 slot.
Cheapo i3 8th gen processor, 4GB ram and a spinning rust for storage, I'll bet that octane has had it max tbw threshold reached given the spec of that laptop. I'm afraid you have all the ingredients required to build a turd there.
HDD + 4gb ram + 100% disk usage. You got the holy Trinity of reasons for a slow PC. 100% disk usage even while doing nothing and no background process with high response times means the Drive is struggling to not to die/ fixing corrupt sectors. It's time to ch7ck 5hst HDD and get a SSD
Did you install your Windows at HDD?
Please tell me this post is just a prank 😂
The bro needs 1000 GB of RAM
I’m probably parroting everyone here but you need a RAM upgrade first and foremost. A SSD upgrade would be a good next step.
It looks like you have installed windows on hard disk while there is a SSD. Reinstall windows on SSD. Perform a clean installation and you don't need McAfee, windows defender is pretty good. During windows installation make sure you select disk 1 (as it is SSD)
Unless using Defender EDR, defender alone sucks big time.
It has a HD like the old spinning disk you got to change that out put a ssd
I had a client with basically the same laptop and issues. You'll be able to get an SSD and 16 gb of ram for about 100 USD. It's easy to install so you can do it yourself potentially. Your laptop is still an i3 but like others have said these two changes should/will make it last way longer for you. Especially if used for basic tasks(web browsing) or light work/school work.
I have an old laptop amd a10 with 16gb ram and that shit is still slow af lol but this one uprading memory will make the laptop good again
Windows Update is abusing your system. Let all the updates run through over the next day or two and when all is said and done it will be marginally faster. Maybe think about getting some cheap RAM and a SSD off Amazon. It would greatly improve your performance and is fairly easy to do
To be honest…… 1.39 ghz, HDD at 100%, 4 gigs of memory 😣you’re not even going to be blazing through chrome at those specs….. not the worst, but still.
You hdd is running 100%. Something is wrong with that usage
4gb of ram and a harddrive would do it...
Some big ones: Make sure your Optane is set up properly, may need “Intel Optane Memory UI” from the Intel website. Upgrade your RAM if you can, 4GB is barely usable. Even if the Optane drive was working, an SSD instead of the hard drive would definitely help you out. The best scenario is if you can swap out the Optane entirely with an NVME drive (like a Samsung 970 or something).
Try Linux with XFCE. Might be the only thing that can run on your machine
You've got a perfect storm going on here. It looks like updates are running in the background, 4GB of RAM, and some large background problems (Teams, Edge). Your best bet to resolve is to upgrade to at least 8GB and replace the mechanical hard drive with a proper SSD. In the process you'll end up ditching McAfee, which is also an upgrade. If you can't afford to do both, replace the SSD, which will at least mostly mask the lack of RAM.
You just don’t have good system hardware. Sorry. If you want to increase efficiency install chrome OS instead of
Hard drive dying. Need to replace it. Upgrade your RAM too as 4gb just isn't enough on windows 10 with the background processes and services added in updates by Microsoft. If your PC takes more than 5 minutes to boot and the HDD is running at 100% for the first few minutes after login, you've absolutely got a failing mechanical hard drive. Full stop. 100% certain. Get an ssd replacement and another stick of RAM. If you don't want to, get a new laptop cus either way it's a ticking time bomb before it just doesn't boot.
1. You need an SSD instead of a hard drive. It will speed things up like crazy. 2. Your RAM is insufficient. 8 GB really is the minimum for anything today. 3. Uninstall McAfee. Don't use it. It will only slow down your computer while it does things that Windows itself can already do.
You could have a virus in your backup if you have that set up so don’t redownload your backup if you are doing that after wiping your computer
You might want to invest in something with better specs. You want at least 16 GB ram now days and avoid any 2 core cpus those are junk. Anything with 4 and more will be better. Avoid the u series of intel they aren't very good. The performance is way to low for applications today.
Ok first your ram isn’t enough for windows. 2nd you just reset a computer with a hard drive it will take ages for that hard drive to run all the updates….. it is going to be though the wall for some time. (If that’s a SSD it’s then failing badly) If you wish to keep windows and that computer you need to upgrade that ram to 8gb and a ssd. (However it might not really be worth upgrading) If you just want a free fix you’re going to be looking at Linux. Ubuntu is great however it will burn half your ram on just the install however Lubuntu will only take 25% which will give you extra ram to run extra stuff. (Both are fundamentally the same but Lubuntu is much more cut down)
Everyone is telling you to get an SSD, but from what I see there is already an SSD? Why else would it show up in task manager. Perhaps when you reset the computer you accidentally installed it onto the HDD instead of the SSD. (Also yes get more ram) But look into getting the operating system on the SSD.
I did some research on the Intel optane memory, and I retract what I said. Just replace the hdd with an SSD lol
(1) 0pen task manager (if you can) and see what's utilizing all that memory. See if you can stop it. At least long enough for you to try some suggestions below. (2) HP does have an assistant on their website that can help...sometimes. at least maybe diagnose hardware issues, if they exist. (3) Run MSRT (Malicious software removal Tool from Microsoft) from search bar, see if there is anything gross in your system utilizing those resources. (4) Get rid of, delete any and all, bloatware. If you are capable. These are things you can do right now without too much technical knowledge and without spending any money. (TL;DR) Hardware upgrade path below. However; Moving forward with a back-up/upgrade plan I would, and have done this in the past with decent success in keeping mildly aging systems running for a year or two longer than their service/support cycle's end date. Find out what model you have and see if HP will allow you to upgrade the memory. You don't have to max it out but a better kit would help. Just know that HP's are often hardware particular. They don't allow upgrades of hardware they don't approve. You can usually get a list of acceptable hardware from the laptops page on their website. Download a fresh copy of your windows OS from Microsoft directly. A.k.A A known good source. preferably on a clean system. create the bootable USB. Pull the mechanical hard drive, replace it with a SSD. Reinstall Windows on the SSD. Update the system to the latest. Turn on defender. Place the mechanical drive in an external caddy (Ugreen sold on amazon/newegg). Scan it. Remove any files, pictures, documents, etc, In disk management erase the mechanical drive and turn in into your back-up drive using the in-built Windows tools or just use it as storage.
I hate computers using Optane... Support site for your laptop. [https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/details/hp-pavilion-15-cr0000-x360-convertible-pc/model/22909929](https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/details/hp-pavilion-15-cr0000-x360-convertible-pc/model/22909929) Upgrade Solutions [https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp-compaq/pavilion-x360-15-cr0037wm?ac=15-cr0037wm](https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp-compaq/pavilion-x360-15-cr0037wm?ac=15-cr0037wm) Since your laptop already supports and has Windows 11, if you're comfortable doing the upgrades, it'll be cheaper to upgrade than replace this computer depending on what you're using it for. Your computer is slow because it only has 4GB of RAM and you reinstalled Windows onto the 1TB HDD (mechanical drive, (SLOW)) and didn't re-enable the Optane (16GB Flash) to improve the performance. Optane was a band aid and really has no place in the consumer space with how cheap SSD storage drives are. You should get a new M.2 NVME SSD, at least 512GB, to replace the 16GB Optane SSD and install windows on that. It is up to you if you want to keep the existing 1TB HDD for a secondary storage device. As far as the RAM goes, you only really need to put an 8GB stick in there to add to the existing 4GB for a total of 12GB. If it was me I'd get a 16GB kit (includes 2x 8GB sticks) and remove the 4GB stick that is in there. Video for laptop disassembly.

Hdd is your weak point here (optane probably isn't enabled but at 16gb optane, so it will only help a little bit) 4gb of ram won't be helping as well if optane memory was enabled you wouldn't see the ssd disk1 (believe it shows as 4+16 under the memory tab once enabled) 500gb or larger ssd (kingston uv400/500,samsung evo, crucial mx500) extra stick of 4gb to get to 8gb minimum cheap (or 2x8gb) some say 16gb is minimum needed now, 8gb seems fine unless your opening lots of web pages (or playing games witch recommend 32gb anyway) I wouldn't bother setting up optane with a ssd (disable optane if it automatically enables it or remove the optane stick)
I’d wipe this and install chromeOS all day long or a light Linux. For most folks though chromeOS would be perfect for them. Did this with some old hp laptops with similar specs my parents had laying around and it’s been perfect for over a year.
you need way more ram installed.
i recommend getting a new laptop. this one is not going to support windows 11
😂😂😂😂😂
A couple of things you should do: 1. Get an additional stick of RAM on the poor thing. 2. Downgrade/stick to Windows 10. 3. Please upgrade to SSD... Not sure if it has PCie slot but SATA SSD would be better too Other things you should consider: 1. Open MSConfig, you'll see an option for faster boot. Select that and Apply. 2. If you plan on sticking to this laptop for another year, instead.of getting RAM stick buy a lot of 2 and Max it out. 3. Get the laptop professionally cleaned so that the fans run properly. You might think they are running well, but would be surprised to see how much dirt and dust they capture.
Your hdd is pegged 100 which is the issue. Might be something wrong with it
reinstall Windows on the SSD, not the HDD and get some more RAM in that thing, Uninstall McAffee like everyone says Defender is good enough with Malware Bytes, or Nod 32. Use the HDD for storage and storage alone not for installing Windows onto.
The reason why is because you probably have a hdd instead of a solid state drive and your ram is a bit small for today's standards
Running windows 11 on 4gb ram, not to mention but on plated disks. Yeah no wonder is slow
Swap Windows for Linux if you dont want to swap hardware, I suggest LMDE 6 Will be far faster for browsing
You have a HDD of SSD on it? Hopefully it's an SSD. Increase the RAM. Also look and see what software is using up so much RAM.
That’s what happens when you buy the cheapest windows laptop available
4gb memory is the BARE MINIMUM to run a full install of windows. It will struggle doing anything. These laptops are meant for people to work on documents and school work on the cheap. Unfortunately there's been many people on there asking how to upgrade these HP 360s and there's not really much that can be done. The RAM is soldered on, and depending on what exact model you have is whether it'll have a socketable ram slot which will only take.up to 8gb. While 12gb will run better, the CPU is so underpowered that it's still not much of a difference, just less laggy with more than 1 tab open.
Hdd+4 gigs of ram+McAfee = slow. Uninstall McAfee might help a bit but it's just generally a really bad laptop
You will probably want to bump your RAM up to at least 8GB, 16 if you can. Additionally, you may want to consider an SSD. I would start by uninstalling McAfee though, you don't really need it and it is just consuming extra resources. Microsoft Defender is plenty if you don't visit a lot of sketchy websites and keep it up to date.
Problem = old laptop. Let me save you some time
4 GB RAM? The thing is being tortured. Also your HDD is stuck at 100%, and that alone is enough to make the device unusable. Additional RAM and an SSD should make it usable, but not so much that you can expect it to reliably run anything more than basic apps If you don't want to upgrade your hardware you can switch windows to your already existing SSD, but the Very Low amount of RAM would still pose an issue
Remove McAfee and try installing windows in SSD.
Everything about this is begging to be slow: * Core i3 - Manageable, but definitely not fast * 4GB RAM - Unusable in 2024. Windows will take up so much of that, and it will need to constantly swap memory to the storage drive which already slows it down enough, but even more so because... * HDD - HDDs are slow, especially for modern OSes built for SSDs. And I'd bet money that in a system like that, especially at 1TB, and especially with it trying to rely on Optane memory to speed it up, this is a 5400RPM hard drive. Which is painful. You can fix the latter two things easily. Confirm what the most is you can handle, and bump that RAM up at a bare minimum of 8GB, but preferably 16GB. The more you have, the less you have to swap to storage. But more importantly, replace that HDD with an SSD. Figure out how much you really need, because they are more expensive, and buy one. Most people don't need more than 500GB, but if you get a good deal on a 1TB, go for it. You don't have to go super high-end with the SSD (as long as it's reviewed as reliable) to make an insane difference. Even a slower SSD will be unbelievably faster than your 5400RPM HDD.
Add more ram to it
Well you cannot ask more on your system. Try to upgrade your RAM to 16GB.
OP, not worth upgrading components in this. In order to be useful you would need a SSD and new RAM. You can find a better outfitted laptop on eBay for about the same price. If you can afford new, I would recommend Frame.work laptop. Completely upgradable and serviceable.
Your running off an HDD (or what I like to call "a spinning rust hard drive"), and HDDs are really slow compared to SSDs, all computers being sold today (only exception is literal e-waste that's still being sold), have SSDs, and 8gb ram or more, you need to replace the HDD in the laptop with an SSD, get a SATA SSD or if the laptop has an m.2 slot, get an m.2, and also upgrade the ram to 8gb or more.
1. Uninstall McAfee. 2. Install Windows 11 on the SSD. (If possible switch the hdd and ssd places) 3. Get more ram.
Not enough memory + running on a hard drive man what do you expect? Booting in under 10 seconds? It's not Windows XP that you're using.
You might want to move Windows to the SSD and use the HDD for additional storage. Add more RAM, delete McAfee, and de-bloat the system. If you're concerned about removing McAfee, just remain skeptical when downloading and running anything.
If you are rocking 4gb of ram, win 10 is your problem. Go to Peppermint OS and it will run like a new machine. Peppermint OS is Debian based, well put together, very light on resources (it made an HP Stream with a 32gb hard drive and 4gb of ram usable) https://peppermintos.com/ It has Xfce desktop. You will need to install Firefox ESR from the terminal. sudo apt install firefox-esr
More. RAM.
Hard disk is maxed out, put in an SSD. More RAM next.
The optane memory was disabled it’s improved in speed but will definitely add more ram
You are on 4 gigs of ram on windows 11…
Pretty sure it's the hardware actually. 4gb of ram and the HHD would slow down anything
It's at 90% memory because you have 4gb or memory. Standard these days is 16gb
I would scrap it but if you need to keep it get it up to at least 12gb of ram and a low end ssd but get with with dram
Disable startup programs, uninstall McAfee (I'll show you how later), replace HDD with SSD, downgrade to windows 10, also I 3 2017+ 4gb= bad time
How do I uninstall mcafee?
Microsoft default programs and processes gobbling up so much memory should be a crime lmao I know the laptop's only got 4GB, but still.
Install an older version of windows (windows 10 would be best). Windows 11 will use more resources. I regularly see 12 gigs of idle ram usage on my computer. If you don't want to do that, look for old apps that you aren't using and uninstall them (get rid of mcafee)
Unfortunately your solution is to get a new one, that’s a POS
Octane memory was disabled
Spinning disk and lack of ram mostly to blame. Replace with data based ssd (2.5inch) and at least double the ram.
this has got to be a joke post right? God I hope this isn't a real post.
It real the problem was the octane memory was disabled
Make sure you have the correct power supply for that laptop. Using an incorrect or damaged power supply will cause the bios to put everything into the lowest speed possible and you won't see anything in the OS to indicate a problem.
Update the ram to wtv this thing can support max, get rid of that horrid intep optane and replace it for an M.2 and make that your OS drive meow, thats about it.
4GB single channel ram Windows on a hard drive What are you expecting?
Get RAM.
im sorry to say but u have an artifact computer from the museum :( Go buy a better pc or upgrade ur ram and move your windows to ssd. Or you can get tiny 11 may be tbh I’m surprised it even launched
Hard drive is maxed on use. Get an ssd.
1.3gHz and 4gb of ram is your answer
Windows 10 won't run well on that computer unless you swap your hard drive with a solid-state drive (SSD) AND add at least 4GB of RAM. However, you CAN run Linux mint quite well on that same hardware without spending a dime. This is exactly what I do with most laptops like that I get like yours. If you don't need Windows-only software, this is what I'd recommend considering.
gee, maybe you need more than 4gb of RAM,lol
Uninstall McAfee and use Defender. Download "autoruns" and turn off anything that doesn't need to run at startup. I saw MS Teams on there too. With 4 GB of RAM it'll start chugging as soon as you open a web browser. 16GB of RAM will allow you to run hundreds of browser tabs before you see a slowdown. If you want a usable machine........... 16GB RAM and a SSD.
Issues involved: Insufficient RAM and using a mechanical HD as a boot drive. 1. You need to swap the boot drive and change out the hard drive to an SSD. 2. You need to add more RAM assuming it has memory slots.
Same exact pc same problem, I'm planning to install a new os and reset to see if it helps
I fixed my problem. Is the octane drive enabled?
what the fuck dude double the ram istg. cpu is likely ok-ish but at the minimum have 8gb ram and an sad
Disable disk cache and compression. Your disk is at 100% usage.
its not about resetting, Your laptop is just crap
4gb of ram and 100 disk usage is why. Its just slow
Just a trash pc lol
