1469492 2020-06-10 00:17:00 Hi,

I have a laptop with details as follow:

- Sony Vaio E Series (Model: SVE141E11W)
- Processor Intel i7 – 3632
- RAM 4 GB
- Hard Disk : 750 GB
- Display adapter: AMD Radeon HD 7500M / 7600M Series
- OS : MS Windows 10 Home

Can someone explain to me why is it running so slow? I am not install many programs and I have lots of free disk space.

Thanks

Get a SSD hard drive. Manufacturers often put quite slow HD's in laptops . Also , SOME old mechanical HD's can sometimes slow to a crawling speed (basically starting to die)
A SSD Hard Drive can make a huuuge difference.

8Gb Ram is better than 4Gb & would help if have have a lot of things open at the same time.

Given its age , it could be bogged down with alot of crud & crap (technical terms) . A Win10 reload or 'refresh' might help.

Also , define 'slow'
Slow to do what ?
Slow to load win, slow to play games, slow internet speeds , slow to open apps, slow to open cloud based apps/docs .

Windows10 updates can slow some systems , as they download & install. Or if an large updates fails & continuously retries .

Back up your data, do a fresh install of Windows.
