I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop with an AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58, 1895 Mhz, dual core processor which has 4 gigs of RAM with a SSD running Windows 10.
I first installed Windows 10 when the beta period was nearly over and the computer was quite fast.
As of a little over a year ago I noticed the computer getting somewhat slower to the point when in Google Chrome it is nothing for the computer to go to 100% CPU usage fairly easily ans usually when the computer is fully booted it goes to 100% usage much easier.
Web pages take a bit of time to load, videos tend to not play as good ETC...
Is that due to a Windows update or is that just a Chrome update making it require more resources to do the same things?
Is it slower due to no battery attached?
Is it something else?
I really would like this laptop to be fast again as I put some money into it and hate to see it wasted.
I did a search once and I can get a faster processor, but I'm nor paying what the going rate is as it's rather expensive and I doubt that will really do much for the speed.
