Laptop too slow to use

So I rebooted my laptop cause it was so slow. It worked for a few days but its back to being so slow its literally unusable. It took me 45mins to load Facebook

What can be done?

Besides the obvious of checking that your internet speed/connection is good ... is it only FB that is playing up? What browser are you using?

I have fibre optic so it's not the Internet. It's the whole laptop that's slow. I'm trying to delete a few things thy are taking up space and its tool 20mins to open the romove page lol

Have you defragged?

Would it need defragged of its only just been rebooted? There's no files on it at al

could be your hard drive on the way out hayley and when its booting up our searching for pages it may be clitching and not following the correct load up path .
had the same thing a month ago back with the daughters lappy

Quite right .. hehe, forgot you said you re-did it

Is it a PC or a mac?

Pc

do you mean re format or reboot your drivers if you only done a reboot drivers you may need to do a defragg but as you say no files atall on the lappy im guessing you re formated in which case a de fragg will be of no use

Have you tried running a health check on it?

And as above - if there are no files, no defragment ... if files, remove everything unnecessary from your desktop, stop all unnecessary startup programs and defragment

after you reformat did you clean up your laptop?

becasue you need to do an decktop clean up becasue you going have all your old stuff on it

I dunno what I did then. I just pressed f8 lol

It doesn't have any old accounts or anything (I did this cause I lost the admin password and couldn't delete anything, now I can)

you dont want to go around deleting anything you dont know

tell me what laptop you have and i will find step by step guide for you to reformat

Toshiba c660-18c

First restart your Toshiba laptop. Press either "F1," "0," or "F8" to be taken to your computer's hard drive utility screen. The key command differs depending on the model Toshiba computer that you own.

Select "Restore Original Factory Image" from the list of options in System Recovery. Verify that you want to continue the process by clicking "Yes," then click "Next".

When I start it it always says (configuring widows) why?

You can skip one if you have a decent anti virus and have kept it updated

That's what I did Steve

is that what u did?

you do something wrong.. when i reformat my pc it feel like a new pc

It did for a few days now its now hahaha I must have delete something I shouldn't

you should not delete thing ig you dont know what it is

I just deleted the crap like Microsoft word and the games app. Ah well I'll play with it later and re-reboot it lol

hayley do you still use photo shop as just been looking at the specs and probs for your lappy and high drain programs like photoshop will cook your processer
specs show purelly a web browsing budget to mid range lappy
so ideal for browsing and the forum and fb but anything more straining will burn out your processer

not on the lappy, the lappy is literally for google chrome and thats about all i have on it. my "work" computer is very high spec so it holds all hte good stuff lol
