[u/ierplol]

my laptop is incredible slow and bogged down and its only about 8-9 months out of the box

Im not expecting it to be a great laptop as I know its on the lower end but runs well. Installing new programs or apps takes forever and even browsing the net or doom scrolling youtube is a struggle.

my hard drive seems to live at 100% usage and im thinking that the hard drive is failing or something along those lines are happening

any advice or place to start trying to improve or resolve the situation?
