Laptop Is Very Slow

The most common reasons a laptop that used to feel fast has slowed down.

Likely causes

• Drive nearly full, or an old mechanical hard drive
• Too many programs starting automatically
• Dust buildup causing the system to slow itself down to avoid overheating

What usually helps

• An SSD upgrade for aging hard drives
• Cleaning up startup programs and clutter
• A clean and thermal service if overheating is involved
