hardware upgrade
Better parts installed
A hardware upgrade is the replacement or addition of physical computer components to improve performance, capacity, or functionality.
Common upgrades include adding memory, installing a larger hard drive, or replacing a graphics card.
The term distinguishes physical improvements from software upgrades, which involve programs rather than tangible parts: The old laptop just needed a hardware upgrade to run the new software.
