Guys, it's driving me crazy ... I lost my windows 10 and half of my storage (from 1TB to 596GB {Western Digital}) I live with that - no problem - 

It is so slow and sluggish starting up and then slower loading - I've scanned with 'avast' nothing found - scanned with 'malware bytes' nothing found - used Ashampoo win optimizer 16 - still no change ....................... Please, can you possibly help with this - 

 

thank you

 

Ricky

Thanks Phil. I am not sure how I missed that. It looks like you hard drive has issues so as he mentioned it is very important to not do anything and make a backup of your files immediately.

These are some alternatives to The Windows 7 image backup.

EaseUs todo backup

You are welcome. Let us know if you need further help once you have the new drive. If you cannot backup right away then i highly recommend to use the computer as little as possible.

Hi, as it wasn't too pricey I bought a new HP all in one - I let it update to the latest windows 10 - sadly some of the things (programs and other side parts etc lolz) which I don't understand and feel sure I won't use - are I think slowing down very much the loading and browsing - I'm sure a new computer shouldn't be that slow   would greatly appreciate your advice and experience to sort this frustrating problem - would you like me to post this in windows 10 after you've read this

 

Thanks ... Ricky
