Hi,
I purchased the HP 250 G5 not even more than a year ago and it is running slow. It is an i5-6200u @2.3GHz with 8gb ram (upgrated from 4gb) running on Windows 7 64-bit.
When I first got it it was running perfectly smooth originally on Windows 7. I then stupidly upgraded it to windows 10, downloaded loads of games and then realised both the games and <language please> windows 10 is making it slow.
So I decided to install Windows 7 back on it, but now it is running slower than ever. Even though it's a HDD, the startup times are incredibly slow. After the screen comes up it takes like 5 minutes to fully load, and I have only 1 or 2 apps enabled in startup. Then opening something like chrome takes ages, then sometimes it freezes, and the worst thing ever, CHROME SOMETIMES JUST AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES AND I LOSE EVERTHING.
I can't even close Word sometimes, when I click X, the whole app just freezes. I don't understand, I reinstalled it, it should be fast. I've disk defraged, doesn't do anything, I've went on run and deleted all temp files, doesn't do anything.
What should I do, it's frustrating how even though it's 'i5', it runs like something from 2005. Help. Should've just got a shitty intel Atom, at least people use that and they have no problems.
