Hey Fellow Geeks.
I have been struggling for weeks to speed up my Laptop which has slowed immensly. I priced up new RAM upgrade and need to wait a while for funds.
So here is my Temporary FIX...
Go and add a new user account with administrator privalidges.
This then gives you a cleaned up version that runs smoother without all your little personalised things running in the background thus lowering your CPU and swapfile useage.
Bonus is - All software is still available for use.
Only drawback is your Email account details will need to be imported again.
Let me know if this helps!
