Hi @Whitneydiva 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

Please provide a specific HP Product Number so the Forum can review your PC's specs.

Slow PC performance can be caused by the following:

1. The PC's component profile or failing components,

2. Extremely high: CPU, memory, or system drive activity. And a lot of running processes,

3. A saturated system drive close to it's capacity limit and/or excessive amounts of junk and temp files,

4. Malware, which also relates to item 2 on this list.

I would like to see your PC's specs before making any suggestions to improve system performance.

You could check your PC's hardware using HP Diagnostics as follows:

Start the PC. Repeatedly tap the "ESC" key.

Select "F2". Run system and component tests to confirm: a drive problem, a memory problem, or other component problem. Run extensive tests.

Regards
