Okay, so my computer has been acting up for a while now, I have to wait between 2-5 minutes every time after starting it to actually use it (everything acts fine, I can enter my session, but Windows keeps loading and sometimes crashing, forcing me to reboot multiple times in a row)
Is there something I can do about it ?
Should I just do a backup and reinstall Windows ? (If so, what's a good way to create a backup, as most of the results in google tell me to use the Windows backup tool, which is nonexistent on my computer)
Sorry for the lack of a good description, I'm kinda tired

Already tried, doesn't change the slightest thing.
Thanks anyways
You can make a backup by obtaining some storage unit like a hard disk , pen-drives or DVDs and copying all the files you want to store to them. In fact, you should ALWAYS keep backups of your data, even when you're not planning on formatting your computer because you never know when your disk might fail and destroy all your beloved information! If possible, make multiple backups and keep them physically separated.
Anyway yeah, you should format your hard drive and reinstall Windows. That should make your PC run faster.

How old is your hard drive? Asking because it looks like hard drive failure.

About 2 years, I think ?
Already did a chkdsk, told me there was nothing wrong with the hard drive
