is reinstallation worth it?

Hello good people, I have a question...
So I just got a fresh install of Windows 7 on my 'gaming' pc which I messed up and to my surprise I didn't blow the pc up, so now I have a question, I have an old laptop, which was super duper fast when I first got it, but then I remember messing around with the drivers etc. and I somehow made my whole pc slower and it has developed an overheating problem overtime, so since reinstalling windows is a piece of cake, I was wondering whether there is a chance that a reinstallation of Windows 7 may fix the problem? I still have the key etc. so it should be no problem, but the question is, will it make a difference?

It will certainly make a difference with the speed.. Over time you install many applications to your PC / Laptop, remove them etc.. It leaves little remains within the PC / Laptop.

It however may not fix the overheating problem though.

That's a shame, the main reason I want to reinstall is overheating, that's a big problem for the laptop...

Maybe you could try blowing some air through the cooling channel of the laptop.. Maybe a dust build up etc?
