Computer becomes very slow
You anticipate performance issues with limited resources. Your storage space appears to be nearly full, especially under strain.
You could test a live Linux USB and switch to Linux without upgrading RAM. Debloating Windows is uncertain.
certain add-ons enable you to pause tabs, conserving memory similar to The Marvelous Suspender
This setup paired with just 8 gig of RAM suggests you're heavily taxing the slow SSD by using page file swaps. With multiple tabs open and active programs running, performance drops sharply. You'll notice lag as the system constantly moves data between the drive and RAM. Given a 128 gig SSD, this can quickly become problematic. It seems likely the free space is nearly zero and the drive's condition might be compromised.
Generally, despite the tough market conditions and steep prices, having 16 GB of RAM would be beneficial. When my computer starts to slow down, I always back up my files and perform a clean install—it’s definitely the best solution. Using OneDrive to store all my data makes this process much simpler for me. I’d highly recommend it.
I considered switching to a single drive but am unsure about relying on an online server to keep private data safe in case of a breach.
I agree on the ram pricing and I hate the guys who caused it,affecting people who doesn't have much money . There is a friend in China who can get one and send me.He said it being about 30% cheaper. I am actually running a second monitor. How can I free up the background stuff that's running?
