Why is my computer slow? 7 common causes
There is almost always a specific cause, and it can almost always be fixed.
- Too many startup programs. Remove from startup what you do not use every day.
- Disk almost full. With less than 10-15% free, the computer suffers. Free up space or expand it.
- Too little RAM for what you do. Many tabs and programs at once use it up.
- Old mechanical hard drive. Replacing it with an SSD is usually the most noticeable upgrade.
- Viruses, adware or unwanted extensions. Read 7 signs your PC has a virus.
- Outdated system or a very old, cluttered install. Sometimes a clean reinstall is worth it.
- Heat and dust. If the fan is loud or the computer gets very hot, it may be limiting its speed.
