Win 7.png

So, mi PC (Laptop) is going slow and every day passes it goes slower. My PC is pic related a Win 7 SP1.

Already tried:
>CCleaner (Shite)
>Disc Defrag (barely makes any difference)
>System Restoration (no longer have back ups)
>Clean Hardware (no difference)

I wanted to try to restore PC to factory settings but i need a Win 7 disc which I haven't got.

Also i heard that i could change my OS to a Linux based which was way lighter but i read that a year ago or so so no longer remember.

>What can I do?

>what can I do
save up for a new PC fampai.

A dual core pentium is garbage and has been for years.
>>
Clean Windows 8.1 install.

Uses less resources than 7.

Would i have to spend money or get a cracked version?

Updating to Win 10 would be a good idea?

Try this
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

Fixed some long standing issues with my PC and I didn't want to reformat. It's not one of those shitty registry cleaner things, it really does some wizardry

Or before you do that, try using DISM first (google it)
>>
>>55252742
Ah wait, if you're on Windows 7 you need the system update readiness tool instead. It will refresh everything almost like a clean install.
>>
Ok will check that, still i have the question if upgrading to Win 10 is a good idea
>>
>>55252597
Yes, don't listen to the paranoid memesters on /g/ about botnets

Try it, you can always roll back. My spare PC has the same specs as yours and it handles Win 10 just fine.
>>
Ok, thank you all. Will first try upgrading, and if that fails will use the other two tools.
>>
linux would run smooth as butter. try mint mate.

It's running slow because your fans are full of dust and pollen, which is making your cpu throttle down.
