Hi guys.
I have a problem with my laptop: it’s extremely slow and even as slow as it’s basically unusable when installing bigger sized games.
Yes, the laptop is 3 years old but I had this problem since day 1 but now I’m tired of it.
When I’m not installing anything it’s decent, even though I must refresh a few times after closing basically anything, opening firefox takes about 40 seconds so it’s pretty slow anyways but I got used to it.
But now, while installing RDR2, my gosh, it’s unusable. Just trying to open firefox takes about 3-5 minutes and it will crash anyways. It takes about 1 min just for the things like refresh to appear on the screen after right clicking and basically opening any app is a suicide mission, for example it took 10 minutes to open a program called DS4Windows(which is not a heavy app in any way).
My laptop is a Lenovo y520 (the best version) and I’ve been thinking that the problem might be the HDD and that I should get an SSD but would that fix the problem and will I be able to use the laptop like everybody else? I find it outrageous to have to wait so much for a basic task like opening chrome, my pc or even right clicking while installing a bigger game.
As the game is installing, I’m looking through task manager and the cpu is fluctuating between 60-100%, memory is at 85% and disk is at 100%. I don’t have any background apps opened either and the fans and the laptop itself is clean as a tear.
Do you think getting an SSD would make it better or is it something else? What are you guys thinking?
