Hi

System specs are OK for doing basic Photoshop editing but you will run into issues with the lack of RAM, Photoshop is pretty RAM hungry. You really need a minimum of 16GB of RAM, you should be able to add more RAM to the Laptop

I've got Photoshop opened at the moment and it's using over 5GB of RAM, memory in use with Photoshop the OS and Firefox is over 12GB

My system without Photoshop running

@Ged_Traynor thank you mate. 

Yes for now I need to do some basic editing only, so maybe later on I can add the ram to the laptop

Thank you for the insight, really appreciate it
