Resolving software issues is generally easy once the cause has been identified.
Resolving hardware issues is a much more complex process and will likely not be possible on laptops.
One of the easiest ways to determine why your setup is running slow is to use Task Manager.
Generally, this is a good indication of the cause of the issue.
you could also see which applications are causing high usage.
RAM or Random-Access Memory is used to store the data of the currently running programs.
Youll likely often run into this issue if you have four gigabytes of RAM or less.
you might upgrade or replace the RAM on all desktops and some but not all laptops.
If your RAM is at or near 100% usage in Task Manager, this is likely the issue.
You should also ensure that all RAM modules in your system are the same speed and capacity.
Ideally, they are the same model.
6GB or 8GB of RAM is generally the sweet spot for most computers.
This issue is likely related to your hard drive and is probably because you are using an HDD.
An HDD or Hard Disk Drive is a cheap but slow form of storage.
SSDs or Solid-State Drives can be as much as 20 times faster, although they are more expensive.
Replacing your hard drive should be possible on all desktops and the vast majority of laptops.
For gamers, the main performance issue in computer games is low framerates.
Generally, this can be solved by reducing the resolution or graphics parameters.
If you dont want to do that, however, you could replace your graphics card.
This will be somewhat expensive and isnt possible for laptops.
Still, a graphics card upgrade can significantly extend the life of a gaming computer.
If the culprit is software that you explicitly want to run, then a CPU upgrade could be useful.
Either option should stop it from using system resources, with the second option being a more permanent solution.
Note: Performance issues will rarely be solved by running any sort of Registry cleaner.
