256 GB SSD NVMeIntel(R) HD Graphics 530NVIDIA Quadro M1000MBy @Taha37050014wab2 This is not good enough to run Photoshop efficiently. A 256 GB system drive is far too small for Photoshop. I'm guessing it's almost full already? - leaving no space for Photoshop's scratch disk. That will grind Photoshop to a halt very quickly.Nvidia Quadro M1000 is old and not supported in Photoshop. It only has DirectX feature level 11.0, but Photoshop has required feature level 12.0 for quite some time now. The feature level is a hardware requirement, not something that can be updated. It's the GPU's actual physical capabilities, what it can do.The integrated Intel GPU is a potential problem in itself. Dual GPUs tend to conflict.
