- Restart the computer. Many machines are left on for weeks.
- Close programs and browser tabs you are not using.
- Check free disk space. Less than 10 percent free slows Windows down.
- Install pending Windows updates.
- Run a virus scan with your security software.
- Check Task Manager to see what is using the processor, memory or disk.
Older computers with a hard drive often become much faster with a solid-state drive and more memory. Log a ticket and we can advise whether to upgrade or replace.
