open task manager>performance details and view memory usage % as well as cpu running freq.  If ram is used <50% then adding ram would probably not help.  is cpu running at base freq?

Internet speed is another potential point of subjective slowness.  run speedtest to see what your download is.

if you are using hdd, upgrade to ssd will help speed up OS boot.
