buy an ssd
download macrium free
select everything on your boot drive
select the ssd to clone to
click next
sleep for a while
swap the drives
disable superfetch, prefetch, defrag, enable trim
your computer will now boot in 15 seconds and everything will open in a blink of an eye if your hardware is up to spec

My advise, always do a complete fresh install when you get to a stage of slow computer. If you just clone the drive, you are cloning any existing issues with it.

Feel free to email / message me if you want this done. I'm only in Auckland 2-3days each week, and this type of job I do on a 1 week turn around.
