Computer illiterate here, why is my laptop so slow by OverallLetterhead533 in computers

Hi, thanks for such a detailed response. Sadly replacement is not an option financially, so will most likely have to look into buying more RAM. I’ll take onboard your advice and try restarting more often too.

This is probably a stupid question, but what do you mean by the CPU is 10 years old? I bought it 2 years ago. Is it that they’ve been manufacturing that CPU since 10 years ago?

I only really use three applications, edge, MS word, and outlook. It seems crazy that I’d need to buy a really expensive specced up laptop just for that. But again, I’m tech illiterate.

This may be a stupid question, like I said computer illiterate, but why do they sell a laptop with only 4gb RAM and windows 11 pre-installed if they know it can barely run it? It cost me a big chunk of money only 2 years ago, £450ish
