565525, Windows 7 slow
Posted by Mojo2000, Wed Jul-18-18 11:03 AM
Hello, friends, it's been a while. What are your first recommendations when Windows 7 is slow? Boots up slow, reaches functional desktop slow, starts applications slow etc. I bought a Seagate Firecuda thinking it would be a useful compromise between SSD and platter. Hasn't helped much in this case, to the best of my knowledge.

I've had Malwarebytes Premium (permanent subscription) running since I dunno when, and my Firefox keeps me busy managing NoScript for every new website (grumble grumble). I still prefer to visit the free section of Snapfiles, if I can help it.

Not really eager to move to Win10 unless by strong, site-wide vote. TIA
