It's because of all the programs you've already got on it that's making it run slow! Defrag and disc cleanup will help.

well acutally there are 3 on your computer now check your programs and see if there is a Defragmenter, windows clean up, as well as, scan disk these three speed up your program. Also there may be to many programs starting up at once. Click run- then type (msconfig.exe) then click what programs you want to start at startup that way there isnet like 40 things going in the background when you want to check your email

1. Run CCleaner to get rid of junk files and sweep the registry
http://www.ccleaner.com
2. Use Auslogics Disk defrag

3. Switch off windows indexing service
right click your drive(s), click on properties
under the general tab, uncheck the box marked "allow Indexing service to index this disk". Press apply, ok.
4. Use Autoruns or Startup Inspector to stop unnecessary services or processes from starting when windows boots

5. Try system tweaks or optimizations:

Fresh UI - if you do know what you are doing

6. Run a scan with a good antispyware tool if you don't have one:
