Please tell us what model PC you are using and what version OS you are running. We need detailed information to provide you detailed assistance. You say this is a laptop but yet, you posted it in the DESKTOPS section -- and that is confusing.
Upgrading your OS is NOT going to make it run any faster -- as it is NOT the OS version that is slowing you down.
Also, how OLD is your laptop?
We can proceed when you provide the information.
Thanks
