I got a laptop last year and it’s a HP with intel core i5 7th gen and it’s always been slow, but lately it’s been getting even slower and I had some people look at it and they said they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Plus I just now went and closed my chrome browser and there were bing searches for Belize that I didn’t make because I don’t use bing. I’ve never used the laptop for anything but homework and the only person who had more access is a guy from a computer shop who set up the system for me because I’m not Tech savvy. I’m not sure if he did it though because he set it up a couple years ago. And non of my classmates use it because I keep it in my bag at all times and it’s password protected. The CPU or Disk will also randomly jump to 100% and I don’t know why(which is probably the reason it’s slow) Also I’m sorry if I used the wrong flair but I have no idea what they mean. Thanks for any help on my issue.

    Sounds like bloatware and it being old af…

    Fresh install of windows. Create a usb boot drive. Just be sure to keep all the crapware off.

    If you want fast upgrade to atleast 9th or 10th gen…
