Id recommend upgrading to windows 10 for security as Windows 7 has been end of life for a quite a while now and you're vulnerable to previously patched exploits. As for sticking with windows 7, you can partially improve performance by getting a usb and getting it setup with readyboost. Granted the improvements are limited, it should help a bit.

Here's an article to follow:

oooh a cheap solution! i like :drool:

thanks

Another cheap help would be to replace thermal paste on both cpu and gpu and clean the pc from all the dust. Cus i am assuming ur thermal paste is old af.

try find credit card that takes 0 interest rate for 2 years

go buy new pc and start making payments (hey its 0 interest)

u can put 25 bucks a month till its paid off!

when buy new pc make sure u look ram vs ssd u want 64 ram at least 2 T gb ssd or more (if its only 1T fit ok, u can get external storage) but try look for spec that has 2 slots be fine.

ofc processor other things (not 1980 pc with 64 gb ram not gonna work... motherboard will blow up)

anyway just a suggestion

as the other guy said take out your ram and ssd out of that old pc, toss it out when u get new pc if there a slot open you can installed that to new pc (that already have installed orginal, u add to 2nd slot (or as many slots if you build ur own pc) so there u go)

piggy bank- put 25 bucks a month- auto pay vs new pc

it dosnt mean u can go buy Razor laptop or high brand, u can buy a desktop from Hp prebuild around 500 bucks... and install ur ram and ssd in it then it runs done... no more freezing

Your pc hates your excessive use of emojis and wants to kill itself.

Based answer.
