Q: macbook slow

I have a late 2008 macbook running el captain. It seems to be extremely slow these days with the wheel of doom being a recurring feature. I am a self-confessed luddite when it comes to sorting and fixing laptop issues, so please forgive me for asking for help on an issue that will have been asked before - I just need the answer in simple steps.

Thank you.

MacBook, iOS 9.3.1

    I Just upgraded my late 2008 MacBook with 2GB ram with an SSD(OCZ Agility 3) .Apps open instantly and the computer is even faster than when it was new on Lion.If you need to use very heavy apps such as Adobe Photoshop,FCPX etc , upgrade the RAM ,but if you want overall improvement in performance get an SSD .PLEASE
