Hello,
As far as I believe that Windows 7 is highly optimized and stable OS. Infact, it is one of the best OS ever Microsoft made. But yeah, over time the system gets slow and we have to refine it. Follow along these steps:
If, in case above methods didn’t work for you. You can always re-install it. Re-isntalling will renew your Windows and will work fast.
Thanks! If any problem, feel free to comment out.
