Am because of the slowness of my laptop computer to the man and have me install a SSD with a new operating system. Now after a few weeks it is just as slow as before. Can't do anything, not even the simplest programs run smoothly, no YouTube or photos look. It jerks and twitches, is pixelated and goes at a leisurely pace that brings the blood to a boil. Very frustrating. Have no money and understanding what to spend again, have paid a lot for him 2014, but that's probably a mistake, the next will be a Mac. I7 2.6ghz 8gbram with new empty SSD hard drive should not be so slow right? Why do PCs always cause problems for me, why? Mobile phones are always fluid with me, why do not get the developers out with 10 times larger devices?
That sounds stupid, but maybe your "computer man" does not have much idea of what he is doing or you have simply crammed your PC excessively or you have a Trojan on your PC whose creator makes money from your computing power while you you are annoyed, whereby it is not very skilled, but no matter.
I advise you to inform you on the Internet how to reshape an operating system itself and then to do so. Which one do you currently use? I suspect Windows 10. Since you liebäugelst with a change to a Mac, but before you better try the Linux distribution Mint, which is ideal for Windows converters and is accordingly user-friendly. Because if you get used to a new operating system, then it can be this and you'll see that for someone who likes to surf and do office, it's not so different when you first try.
Plus, it's free, and since you do not seem to have the money for a Mac, the best chance to have a stable and fluid system. With Windows, you can download malicious software in so many corners of the Internet that it's hard to keep it free for a long period of time, even for people who know (or at least believe so). With Linux you do not have this problem in the form and you can directly download most of the software like the smartphone via a kind of App Store, here called Software Center or Software Manager, without having to go to dubious sites and trust them that they often do not deserve. Here's something you can read about Linux Mint:

Here is a guide to installing Linux Mint:

To get started, to get better know-how, I recommend to regularly read about magazines like PC-World, Computerbild, CHIP or others and for something more advanced also like the c't.
If you have any further questions, just write a comment.
I go with my old laptop too.
I have also installed a SSD hard drive. That went well and then it slowed down.
I then noticed that the laptop slowed down with every new update from Windows 10. Ergo, I have suspected that the operating system puts too high demands on the laptop, which this can no longer meet.
I bought a new and more powerful one.
Either you take the slow laptop only as a better typewriter or builds back on an older operating system.
Take Linux Mint, which is free to use just like Win, and will still run as fast as it did the first day after 5 years.
The reason is simply that any program or tool or other nonsense you download under Win has full control over the entire machine and anything you can do (with better rights than you) without anyone being able to control it, thanks to closed source. Microsoft has not got that under control - too bad.
It is not for nothing that BSI only recommends Linux and OS x as a secure OS.
