my laptop (HP Stream, ) regularly struggles to open word documents and needs restarting frequently. It constantly complains about having not enough storage despite me constantly deleting everything that isnt nailed down (i cant delete certain stuff like resumes, certificates and stuff, but theyre pretty small right??). My task manager also almost always has 100% for cpu and 85% for memory even with only 1 tab open. Basically what I’m asking is: do i just suck it up and get a new work laptop, or is this fixable?

p.s. im new to reddit and have no idea what a flair is so if i used the wrong one plz dont get mad at me

    How old is the pc? If it’s older than 7 years then yeah just get a new one.

    I would look in storage settings. It shows the break down of what’s holding all your data in simple terms. You might be surprised and find some unimportant things you can delete. Good luck 👍
