Toshiba Satellite C670D-126

Hello,

Almost 2 years ago, I got a Toshiba Satellite C670D-126. At first, everything was fine, but gradually the PC started to slow down.

For example: When I got it, I could watch videos on YouTube in 1080P smoothly without any issues. Today, even when watching a video in 144P, it manages to lag. Then, just to go to the Google homepage, it sometimes takes 10 or 15 seconds to load, and I can't even tell you how long it takes when I do a search. Even using Spotify requires loading times.

I have already used all kinds of cleaning software like CCleaner or Glary Utilities 5 and many others, but nothing works, still just as slow.

So if you have any advice, opinions, or solutions, I’m all ears. But please hurry, because I feel like the computer is about to get a lesson in flight.

Thank you in advance! :-)

    Hello,

    if you want to reset it to factory settings, start the PC by tapping the F8 key as soon as it boots up.

    select: advanced options and it should lead you to the recovery partition (factory restore)

    beware, all your personal data will be lost. You need to back up first.

    best regards.

    Hello, I think the ideal would be to format the PC.

    That said, we can still make the PC fly if you want: indeed, putting tape on the ventilation, waiting for the ventilation to turn into a real Rolls Royce engine of an A380, then throwing it like a paper airplane, it should gain altitude and retract its landing gear afterwards :o)

    Do I need a Windows 7 installation CD for formatting?

    But if the formatting doesn't work, I'll try this solution and I'll send you the video ;-)

      Oh no, you didn't make a backup DVD. Otherwise, do you know which edition of Windows you are using and the type of system (32 or 64 bits)? Because you just need to download Windows 7 from the Microsoft website and enter your license key, and that's it.

      And if you want, if formatting doesn't work, I can turn a ventilation fan into a dual-propeller engine for ultralight aircraft, so there will be more lift for flying ^^

      Unfortunately no, I learned too late that I should have made a backup at the beginning, but now I know for next time lol. Otherwise, yes, I know all that. It’s Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, 64Bits. And where can I find my license key? ^^

      On the back of your PC, there should be a sticker with the license.
