Why do computers start to slow down over time?

Ok, here is the real reason PC slow down over time. One as someone mentioned is software bloat. Not only does this take up space on your hd it adds to overhead of windows services running by taking up memory ,in the background to support each app. This but the windows registry contains all the settings and information about each application. So windows has to read the registry to find what it needs. Each added software package increases the size of the registry.
You only have limited resources
CPU -. Processing power – application & services
Memory – get as much as you can and make sure it’s fast clock speed
And
Disk space -. Windows needs swap space so having a drive that is even 80 or 90% full is still going to slow you down.
This is why people wipe their machine every 3 year and it will run better for a while.
In the long run newer applications require better PC components.
