Yeah, both my computer are slow, one is extremely, and the other is almost ok.
I'd recommend you go to www.iobit.com, then download Advanced Windows Care V2 Personal and IObit Smart Defrag.
I use them, and they work good. My computer got faster

Have a look at your processes using Windows Task Manager to try and identify the process that is using up all your resources. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
