![]() ![]() SupportAssist should tell you if new drivers and firmware updates are available. You could start by running Dell’s SupportAssist program, which might be on your Start menu under S. However, I suspect you have a BIOS/disk/driver problem that re-installing Windows won’t fix. I have no chance of diagnosing the problem without seeing your PC, and even then it might take hours, unless it’s just clogged up with dust or you have no hard drive space left. In sum, something is fundamentally wrong that an SSD will not fix. The old excuse that Windows slows down with age fails becuse your PC got a whole new operating system when you upgraded to Windows 10. Even if you bought one with this year’s Core i3-8130U ( PassMark 5042), it would only match what you have now. That’s twice as fast as the Pentium Silver N5000 ( PassMark 2442) used in many cheap laptops. The processor has a PassMark benchmark score of 4962. It has a 2.5GHz Core i5-2400S processor and 6GB of memory, which makes it far more powerful than most of cheap PCs you could buy to replace it. I don’t understand why your Dell Inspiron One 2320 is so slow. If your PC fails, you will be able to access these files just by plugging the external hard drive into another PC.įor extra security, you can upload files to free online drives such as Microsoft OneDrive (5GB), Google Drive (15GB), Syncplicity (10GB), Yandex Disk Free (10GB free, in Russia), and so on. I also recommend using a file copier such as FreeFileSync to create separate backup copies of your data folders. Windows 10 includes backup software that will do the job, or you can use alternatives such as Macrium Reflect or EaseUS or AOMEI. If you don’t, please buy a USB external hard drive as soon as possible and back up both your PC and your data – photos, music, documents, accounts etc. Every PC should be backed up, and you should have multiple copies of irreplaceable data. Hard drives are increasingly likely to fail after five years of use. However, the poor performance is critical and I am worried the hard drive will die and I’ll lose everything.īut, after more than six years of service, am I throwing good money after bad? Is there a replacement that would provide a good all-round upgrade for a similar cost (although I’d spend a bit more on a new one)? It doesn’t have to be an all-in-one: I have looked at micro-PCs and laptops. ![]() I like the style of this machine, and discarding it would be a waste if it still worked fine. According to them, this should give it an extra year or two of life. (It also does photo and video storage, accounts and school work.)Ī local computer business will upgrade the hard drive to an SSD, and clone it so I don’t have to reinstall everything, for about £300. It takes so long to boot up and run Google Chrome, Microsoft Office and Apple iTunes that it’s almost useless. I have a Dell an all-in-one desktop PC from 2012. ![]()
