It’s got to be my main worry with Windows – a computer that once was fast can become painfully slow.

 

Over the course of anything from a few months to a year, Windows can go from energetic to lazy. The good news is that many Windows slow-downs are easily fixed. Here are some tips on how to put some pep back into your PC.
