Can you fix my computer it’s running very slowly?

Failing hard drive
Failing hard drives can be devastating, it can start with the computer being slow and then at any moment the drive could fail completely losing all your important data, documents and photos. It is hard for people to realise there drive is failing as it can happen slowly, although this is not the case all the time. The symptoms can also be wide from slowness, strange noises, random crashes and the computer intermittently not starting.
Windows 10 or later operating system
You have the Windows 10 or newer operating system and are still using a hard drive and not a solid state drive (SSD) Windows 10 and later need much faster drives than previous versions of Windows. This means that if they are using a hard drive (especially a slower one) that the hard drive is at 100% capacity at all times before even using the computer. this is a big bottle neck and an upgrade to an SSD is the best way to solve the problem. Additional RAM may also be a good option.
