    Hello Everyone,
    I bought the Dell XPS 15 model 9550 windows 10 (used) last year and for a few days it worked very nicely but after that the laptop got very slow. It takes more than an hour to boot.i installed new os but after a week the laptop will boot very slowly. I installed like more than 10 os until now and everytime the same problem occurs. It has Nvme m2 SSD to boot, so I don't know what's the problem here. I tried to check online but I couldn't find any issue.
    Please anyone help me here 🙏

    Well i don't have most of those issue but my Asus is still slow.
    It had some hardware problem, so I went to fix It, lost everything, now its just slow in everything, at startup screen.
    Whether I go to edge/chrome/libre, typing it's all slow.

      That is a very strange problem. My first guess is a driver issue - be sure that Windows, chipset, and other drivers are all updated.

      Get your laptop's model number and search online for the specs would be the easiest way. Otherwise, go to device manager then look under 'disk drives' to see what is listed.

      Usually the biggest culprits are ones that you would recognize - game launchers, tools, etc. If your laptop is a few years old or less and it takes that long though it sounds like it might be a Windows issue. Might be a good idea to reinstall Windows.

      Brand new could be update related - lots of Windows updates have to go through for the first few reboots. Maybe check it manually. Or, maybe you have some bloatware on this new laptop that needs to be uninstalled or disabled in the startup area.
