anthony_may Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Well, This is the laptop I have: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-x360-2-in-1-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-natural-silver/4221702.p?id=1219708600904&skuId=4221702 I feel like my laptop is just not fast enough. I mean I have an i7 and 8GB of RAM. I used to have this: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387430,00.asp Here is why I feel like it's not fast enough: YouTube videos lag whenever I try to play 720p or 1080p videos. When I have too many programs open (for example 8 of the same programs) on both my new and old laptop, my old laptop seems to run and "feel" faster. I haven't gamed yet with my new laptop but I'm going to try it soon. I doubt it will be as good as the old one though. Any reason for this? I used to run Windows 7 on my old laptop and I have Windows 10 on my new laptop (it came with it). I just don't know how I can take full advantage of my laptop as I'm getting very frustrated with this new laptop. Thanks. Experiencing the same problem. I have another model of laptop, and even 7200 hard drive. And I can't say it's really fast! I'm thinking of using SSD now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGM Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 You're talking to someone that has never built a custom built computer before. Lol. 7 minutes would roughly extrapolate to certainly less than an hour if you literally have no idea what you are doing and can read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try to do a clean windows install. There's a chance you can get a clean Windows install if you use the "reset this PC option", but if the manufacturer loaded their own image in there, you'll need an ISO and do it manually.

sc302 Veteran Posted October 23, 2015 Veteran Share Posted October 23, 2015 I am going to lock this up. I think the op is happy with the results of his fix. There is 8 pages of this and most aren't getting past the first page. kozukumi, goretsky, DevTech and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
