Overloaded Hard Drive or Old hard drive
Before bringing your computer to APC Doctor and asking them a question like why is my computer slow? You need to know a few things about programs, how they run? And where is the data stored. Firstly make sure you are not overloading your programs, every program takes up a certain amount of space in your hard drive, the more you install, the sooner hard disk will run out of memory. Which in result can slow down your computer by a mark, to make it simple to understand assumer you have a bookshelf with only two books which you read but overtime your bookshelf fills up, and everything becomes unorganised. It will take time for you to search for a certain book. Similarly, your hard drive also works like this the more programs and data you will use the more time will it take for it to search it and open it for you.
Insufficient RAM or need extra ram
While you are using a program that is running on your computer, alongside it is also writing data and information which is being feeded to your random access memory (RAM). Some programs take more memory than others, depending on the sort of program you are running. If your computer is old and the program you are running has been released recently, then you would face these issue of slow programs running. Reason being the hard disk and RAM both need to work simultaneously to read and write data from the program that you might be running. In simpler terms, it means there are some simple stuff you can read and write easily like single-digit number and alphabets, but if it comes to the complex equation, even the human brain cannot perform such tasks. The more you run the heavy program, the more you hard drive will wear out over time, making it slow to read and write data. So if you are having this issue and don’t know what to change, the hard drive or simply put extra memory.
