Norton has a nice utility program... cleans up the clutter.
Don’t complain. My laptop takes 20 minutes for the hard drive to stop and the computer to get going smoothly. I love my Chromebook for web surfing. Boots in less than 20 seconds.
BINGO! Now go buy an official Bill Gates Blue Screen Surface!
That is the secret.
Dang, I just bought a Windows 10 HP refurb because TurboTax no longer worked on my Windows 7 desktop. Now, if Family Tree Maker stops working on Windows 10, I am totally FUBAR.
Stack social has Office Pro 2021 for $39 with lifetime code....I can use it on my Mac.

Liked Windows 8 better at least it had a chess game now updated to 10 nothing but kid games PU.
Hint: it's not Win10 that's the problem. Are you running it on a 486/66?
No, its a plain old rotating mechanical beastie.
