So I have a laptop from like 6 years ago. When it was new, I could play many different and cool games like GTA IV, Fallout 3 without a problem with decent playable fps. By now, it struggles to run Minecraft on 30 fps, and Microsoft office is quite a challange for it. I even did clean windows 7 install with nothing else on hard drive except Windows 7 newest version (with all updates). Question is - did the updates ruin laptop ?I mean, the performance was getting worse over time. Does windows update's slow down my computer. Will installement of older version of Windows 7 help ?

if anything ive noticed some improvements in performance with newer windows updates. i know this sounds like a stuck record but what exactly are we looking at here.specs?
They aren't that impressive. 4gb DDR3L and A4-4300 apu. It's slow even without any background processes, on dekstop cpu usage is 50%
