14. Format Your Computer By Reinstalling Windows
To format your PC, you need to have a copy of Window on a DVD or a bootable USB flash drive. You might try to downgrade your Windows version for optimum performance if your RAM and processor are being outdated. Consider upgrading your RAM and hard drive.If none of the above steps failed to boost your computer performance nor make it even a little faster than before, it is time to think about having a brand-new computer.
