Idk, my w7 install works as fast as ever. Only reason to reinstall is to clean up loose files.

it's called not installing shitware, making sure nothing unnecessary runs at startup, keeping your shit organized, and replacing your ram every once in a while. it's also called not running anything past windows 8.1.

if you have a prebuilt PC with hardware diagnostics, run that first
update drivers wherever possible
update Windows
run regmech and fix errors
uninstall unused software
disable programs that you don't need to start up on log in
malware scan just in case

It's just a standard store bought Lenovo too.

yeah seriously what the fuck

people on here meme about Linux not letting you get work done, but the reality is that maintaining Windows requires a lot more effort, and the operating system is constantly getting in the way of your work.

All are functioning just fine, except the first laptop which was decommissioned because of hardware troubles and harvested for its hard drive for a 'new' build.

It's worst when like me you just have to use windows once every month or so. I just want to spend the 10 minutes testing some shit, but Windows wants to install 500 updates, and it slows to a crawl because every scheduled task decides to run all at once. And you can't even kill things because you've got like 20 processes called svchost that it's just going to immediately relaunch any way.

And that's when there's no problems. If anything isn't working, then I'm about to waste my whole afternoon.

Windows now has a refresh/reset feature for proles like yourself

when my laptop gets slow i throw it away and buy a new one

don't you know you've got to buy your way out of this?

Fuck that shit, why can't it it just work? There's literally no advantage to doing all that shit just to play like 2 games that aren't available on console and use commercial DRM ware like Adobe or Office 365.

>>59863496
this

60fps is nice, but only if the game is actually fun and the operating system stops getting in the way so you can play the fucking game

>replacing your ram every once in a while.
Why would you do that?

Fedora 25 GNOME with Wayland doesn't have this problem.

>>59861711
refresh that shit

>registry
>no separate OS and data partition
>needs to be restarted for kernel updates

Why haven't Microsoft fixed these flaws yet?

>>59861711
Buy an SSD.
Stop windows from indexing crap.
And compress your entire filesystem.

>>59864358
>needs to be restarted for kernel updates

Isn't that true for Linux too?

>>59864374
not since 4.0

>>59861711
That's why you make a disk image of a fresh install that is all setup and then when you need to just reimage the disk.

Takes like 30 minutes,.

>>59862829
>replacing your ram every once in a while
But what about the headlight fluid?

I no longer have that problem.

Your grandma isn't going to be able to do that. Even a normie isn't. There's no reason to have to get rid of data while reinstalling the OS. Not that there's any reason to have to reinstall the OS but, you know, low bars

>>59861841
you did the meme wrong you fucking tard

>>59865098
And that's why the bar is low, they want those people to pay them again and again to fix the trash that is windows.

They don't like it when you don't need them.

>>59865098
you know there's a reset option that saves personal data now, right?

This over time degradation happened to me on every install of Vista and 7 but never happened on XP and hasn't happened so far on 2 years of 10.

The worst thing is being forced to install programs for work that have crazy DRM and auto-updating shit that you can't turn off, but obviously impact performance. Fucking Autodesk, Nvidia, Oracle and all the rest.

>>59861740
Au contraire it has slowed down since I first installed.
