How much ram does it have now? You should already have 8 GB. Adding ram will not necessarily make it run faster. Maybe you need to clean up the programs that are slowing it down. Check the startup tab in Task Manager to see what is loading at boot. Disable any unnecessary apps from starting at every boot.
I just got a 5570 and the Hard drive was the limiting factor. I have an i-7 chip and 8 Gb ram and it was still sluggish. I added a SSD 500Gb HP Ex900 M.2 nvme and it turned it into a beast. Clearly my laptop was not up to speed due to slow HDD. If you have a regular (spinning) Hard drive replacing it with a SSD will do more for it than any other upgrade.
Thank you for your reply. I have 4 GB memory right now, so I was thinking of increasing the memory to make it faster. Yes, I looked at the Crucial site, too. As my Dell laptop is still in warranty, I was thinking that Dell would be able to add the memory to my laptop themselves. How much would adding 4GB of memory cost from Dell? Perhaps it would be better to add an SSD - how much would this cost?

You can purchase memory from Dell however they won't install it under warranty just means you can send the laptop to dell for repair on there costs unless you have a service contract like premium support or premium support plus.To find compatible memory go here and enter your servicetag .
As for the SSD question yes that will increase speed but you need an SSD that is supported by the system if you can choose a NVMe more expensive but better performance than sata
