HP laptop with i5 7th gen is mega slow, how do I make it faster?

My hp laptop with an i5 7th gen is unbearably slow what can i do to make it faster?

How slow? What exactly is hanging or not going so well? For example, if you play games etc, I'm not surprised, your processor only has two cores and a relatively low clock frequency, at least for gaming. Otherwise you could delete programs or files that you may no longer need to clean up your hard drive, that can sometimes help.

Well, has he been that slow for a long time? Windows can become slower over time. A cleanup could help. If not, a new installation would be useful.

Unbearably slow could also mean that an HDD is installed as the system hard drive? Then upgrading to an SSD would be a huge speed boost.

Perhaps you could also consider upgrading the RAM to 16 GB?

You could add that trying to turn off a few unnecessary background apps could also bring more performance.

As for the slowness, you should explain this in more detail.

If the startup time is too long for you, an SSD can help.

If it has been too slow for you from the start, it may be that you made the wrong choice when you bought it, or that your demands on a laptop are too high.

If it has become slower over time, it usually helps to restart the computer or to perform a Win-10 recovery.

What are you wondering

This is an old Intel DualCore (2 core).

Otherwise, back up your system (your important data), then reinstall Windows, if necessary, install an SSD if not already available.

The pc has an ssd and everything is even in the office

The laptop has an ssd

Why don't you explain what goes on slowly and how. - Without clear information, it can't be said where the leverage should be applied.

I turn on the laptop and then I start ms office and then it starts to lag
