Why do computers start to slow down over time?
In: 1180
Reality is that if you were to wipe your computer fresh and reinstall everything you had on their previous, it would seem much faster. Your registry gets bloated over time with new program, and often it leaves remnants. Temp files, fragmented data, over time.. it just slows down.
While sure.. newer versions of software are more demanding, we have taken older 4 + laptops, rebuilt from scratch and installed current version AutoCAD LT for example.. and it runs great.
Now if you rebuild from scratch and everything still runs dog slow.. yea, probably time to upgrade. : )
