Reformatting laptops.

[DrZoidberg]

I have an older laptop with Win10. It has gotten really slow and I'm not certain the main reason other than it being old. Would a fresh reformatting and win10 reinstall tend to do much in that case?

Does it have an SSD or a spinning hard drive? If it's a spinning HDD replace it with an SSD and do a fresh Windows 10 install.

Can you also tell us what processor and how much ram it has? Anything less than 8gb of ram and it's gonna crawl.

Personally you can notice the difference on any system.

I usually reinstall once or twice a year.

Being older it probably lacks RAM though.
