A small Windows notebook designed for users who primarily browse the internet is the ACER ASPIRE ONE.If your Aspire One starts lagging or running slowly, you can speed it up by disabling unneeded features, installing more RAM, and replacing outdated software.

Step 2: From the search results, you can select the system configuration.
Step 3: Next to processes you don't want to run after startup, click on the "Startup" tab.
This prevents applications from automatically running in the background after your computer starts up, which can lead to slowness and lagging.

You can avoid installing extra software by using applications that are free of charge.If you want to replace Microsoft Photo Editor with photo editing software, use your search engine to find it.
Step 29: Older programs should be replaced with newer, more lightweight programs.
You can find newer versions of the same software that consume less memory and resources by visiting the developer's website.You can find similar versions of the same program from other developers and manufacturers.If you use a software that consumes too much memory, look for reviews of new software from another developer that uses less resources.
