What is it that makes my laptop slow?

My laptop has been pretty slow since I got it. When I open Mozilla Firefox, it takes forever, or does not work. Loading files from my hard drive to the laptop also takes some time. #

My laptop is from the brand Acer

he owns an Intel i5 processor
and a Nvidia Geforce 920m graphics card

I also do not want to buy a new laptop because the prices for a new device are simply not affordable for me. If anyone knows, what can I do and is it worth the problem to be fixed by a professional, or can I solve it myself?

If it should be easy: Upgrade to an SSD.

Otherwise: delete unnecessary garbage on the hard disk. Defragment. Disable unnecessary programs in the autostart.

As already written the laptop will have installed only a lame HDD.

Therefore, retrofit an SSD, then the problem is solved. By now you get already relatively cheap.

Which one can you recommend to me?

And play the Windows NEW right now!

NO factory setting!

This can have many causes. That the transfer of an external disk takes unusually long other than slow loading a program.

The video card is most likely not to blame, even the Prozesssor not. Too little RAM is often a reason, or the use of USB 2 instead of 3. Especially with laptops, it can also be all the useless tricks that some manufacturers pre-install.

Here you can only guess. If you know someone who has a clue and can look at it, that would be the best. If the calculator is not ancient, there's probably no reason to replace it.

Th

That depends on how much space is needed and how much you want to spend.

I can recommend a Crucial MX500. Of course, there are cheaper alternatives.

Why is one still recommending such a nonsense?
Windows does not get faster or better.

Well, if you say that…
