We have a 7-year old DV6000 laptop. Ran great for the first 4-5 years. Last 2 years has been slow somewhat laggy.


I've ran CCleaner, virus/malware scans, deleted tons of files/programs, cleaned registry, disabled svchost, and it still lags and has difficulty with multiple windows/clients running (didn't have this problem the first 4-5 years). Even with just 2-3 tabs on chrome open it just feels like it has trouble processing. Not using any high RAM programs either.

I have been contemplating restoring it to factory settings, but I wanted to ask here to see what your opinion is?
