"My computer is slow" is the most common complaint at our counter. Here are the 7 real fixes, ranked by cost.
Free fixes first **1. Disable startup programs** — Task Manager → Startup tab. Cuts boot time 30–50%. **2. Uninstall bloatware & run disk cleanup** — old toolbars, trial antivirus and temp files silently eat resources. **3. Windows update + driver refresh** — outdated storage drivers throttle disk speed.
Paid fixes that actually work **4. Virus/malware cleanup (₹399)** — cryptominers and adware consume CPU invisibly. **5. Internal cleaning + thermal paste (₹499)** — an overheating CPU throttles itself to half speed. **6. RAM upgrade (₹1,650 for 8GB)** — if usage sits above 85%, RAM is your bottleneck. **7. SSD upgrade (₹1,499+)** — the single biggest improvement for machines older than 3 years.
What NOT to spend on Registry cleaners, RAM boosters and speed-up utilities are snake oil — many are malware.
