It keeps trickling me forever to open a clicked file from me and often freezes me completely on it alone opening the Windows Start menu seems to bring difficulties…
What's going on there? -.- Even if I boot the system under safe mode the same happens…
Who or what can help me?
Is your laptop upgradeable? So is it possible to exchange components? If so, then get yourself a SSD. They are not that expensive.
Otherwise, it would also be worth considering upgrading your laptop with Chrome OS. You will not have Windows anymore, but Chrome OS will bring old or slow computers to new heights. Should you take this step, secure all important data so you do not have any data loss.
One more important note: Chrome OS is neither Windows nor Linux. Linux applications can be installed in the Developer edition in version 70, but for the most part you are working with web applications. That's why you always need an Internet connection to work.
Think about what you want to do. If that's not the problem with an SSD fixed, then think about the operating system to change or buy a new laptop, because the upgrade can be laborious and associated with high costs.
In Task Manager, you can also look at the utilization of your resources and possibly close further conclusions.
Instead of Windows 7, I would install the Linux distribution Lubuntu on it. This is an official Ubuntu devirat. As a desktop uses Lubuntu LXDE who has a start menu. By comparison, Windows is a lame duck because Lubuntu needs much less system resources.
Here is the download of the ISO. This is the current stable long-term support version: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/...-amd64.iso Then write the ISO with this tool https://www.balena.io/...io/etcher/ on a USB stick.
Now boot the stick. The boot menu appears from the stick and you can start the installation. The Wi-Fi is set up by the installer the same. To do this, have network keys ready. It also offers the possibility to completely delete the hard disk. The point "third-party software" should also be selected. I recommend a full installation. This will immediately install the latest Firefox, LibreOffice, multimedia components, original Microsoft fonts and production tools.
A central update manager keeps the system and the installed programs up to date. You do not have to update every single installed program like Windows. Updating can also be automated. If a new stable long-term support version appears, the update manager will report it and provide an update.
How to install programs: Start Menu> System Tools> Software. This is operated like an Appstore.
If you absolutely need the Flashplayer you go to the start menu> system tools> LXTerminal. Enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
This installs a script that always automatically downloads and installs the latest Flash Player from the Adobe page.
Windows is quite simple knitted, every freeware program and tool that you install has access to everything (data, processing power, passwords…) without you being able to recognize that.
Install a robust and user-friendly OS like Mint or Ubuntu. They are free, easy to use and such security issues are a thing of the past. Linux runs even after 5 years as fast as on the first day.
