⏩Freeing up disk space
In some cases, not having much space left on your disk drive can cause your computer to slow down. Here are a few quick ways you can free up some space:

Defragmenting your hard drive on a regular basis can often help speed up your computer as well. Over time, the data on your hard drive becomes fragmented, making it more difficult for your computer to find. Defragging reorganizes this data and allows your computer to access it more easily.
⏩Adding more RAM
Another reason your computer might be running slowly is that it doesn't have enough RAM (random access memory). RAM is what allows your computer to have various programs open at the same time. If you don't have enough RAM, your computer will slow down quite a bit when you have too many programs running.
Luckily, it's possible to add more RAM to your computer. To do this, you'll need to figure out what type of RAM your computer uses. After you buy the RAM, you'll have to physically open your computer to install it. If this process sounds too complicated, you may want to consider taking it to a computer repair shop to have someone else do it.

Every device connected to your computer, whether it be a keyboard, printer, or mouse, requires something called a driver to function. Drivers are basically programs that tell your computer how to use these devices. If these drivers are out of date, they can slow down your computer and prevent these devices from functioning properly. If this happens, they need to be updated.
If you're using a Windows computer, your drivers will most likely be updated automatically.
Managing startup processes
⏩If your computer is taking a long time to boot up, there may be too many programs launching during startup. Luckily there's a way to manage these startup processesand control what will and won't launch.
Before disabling certain apps and programs, be sure to do some research and make sure they're not vital for your computer to run.
