Why do computers become slow after a while, even after factory reset or hard disk formatting?
In: Technology
The computer doesn’t just become slow over time. I have a computer here at work with the original windows XP service pack one and it has never been connected to the internet. You’d swear it has an SSD in it because it boots up in mere seconds.
Computers become slow because of software updates becoming increasingly more bloated and demand faster components just to get the same performance you got with earlier versions.
It’s sort of a double edged sword though because if you don’t update your software, you’re less secure, but if you update, you’re more secure but your computer may be slower.
Great question OP!!
