Hi people
I got what used to be a great laptop - Toshiba Sattelite P875
Windows 10 Home
64 bit
i7 2.40ghz
16GB RAM
Samsung Momentus 750 GB 2.5" Internal Hard Drive HDD 8MB cache ST750LM022 HN-M750MBB
After 7 years it has slowly wound down to a crawl.... its so slow now, even if i do something as simple as change a file name, it has to take 2 minutes to do it!!! Games that used to run on it wont even launch anymore!
I have done the virus scans
I have uninstalled unnecessary programs
I have blocked all the unnecessary processes
I have run "Driver booster"
I have even gone through the windows services list and optimized those settings according to best advice off the internet.
But nothing can change this computers mind, it is just DETERMINED to be slow.
However, now it has developed a line accross the screen. Online articles say it is the screen beginning to fail.
Ok so i will buy a new laptop then...
Now i am quite surprised to find the average laptops available for sale today are worse (on paper) than my 7 year old laptop..... what the hell happened to the laptop market??
