Most slow computers can be fixed without replacing them. Try these friendly, low‑risk steps first.

Quick tune‑up checklist

1. Restart (seriously—it helps).
2. Close extra tabs and apps you’re not using.
3. Remove unused apps (Settings → Apps on Windows).
4. Clear startup programs (Task Manager → Startup).
5. Free disk space (delete old downloads and empty the trash).
6. Update the OS and browser so you get performance and security fixes.
7. Run a malware scan just in case.

Extra tips that help a lot

• Check storage type: Older hard drives are slow. A solid‑state drive (SSD) is a huge speed boost.
• Keep at least 15–20% of disk space free so the system can breathe.
• Limit browser extensions—too many can slow everything down.

When an upgrade makes sense

If your device is 6–8+ years old, has very little storage, or struggles even after cleanup, a simple SSD upgrade (and sometimes a RAM upgrade) can make it feel new again.
