In Task Manager, if an employee's Windows system is running slowly, what could be a recommended upgrade?

Installing more RAM in the system is a highly recommended upgrade for improving performance, especially in scenarios where the computer is experiencing slowness. RAM (Random Access Memory) plays a crucial role in how quickly a system can access and process data. When a system has limited RAM, it may struggle to handle multiple tasks or applications simultaneously, leading to sluggish performance. By increasing the RAM, the system can better manage running applications, which can significantly enhance overall speed and responsiveness.

While updating display drivers and removing unnecessary applications can also contribute to performance improvements, they generally address specific issues rather than providing a broad boost to the system's capabilities. Changing the operating system version might improve performance in some cases, but it's not always guaranteed and could introduce compatibility issues or require additional resources. Thus, adding more RAM is often the most direct and effective route to alleviate slow performance in a Windows environment.
