Slow laptop

BrenCann · 2013-03-01 17:14:34

Laptop 2 years old getting slower, need it to get faster or i will throw it out the window. Have done usual things like disk clean up and defrag. Only use it for net and photos , was thinking of scraping everything on it and starting again, Will it be worth it and how do it ?

The easy way out? Use the "factory default" facility. This will roll back the laptop to the state it came out of the box.

Or install the operating system from scratch. This would require a Windows installation disc and driver download (from the manufacturers website). This method is preferable as the computer will be a lot faster without all the pre-installed bloatware.

Either way, make sure you have a backup of your personal files.
