Well it's lagging terribly for one.
Firefox keeps "not responding"
i have windows ten installed as ever since I put it on there, I've had nothing but issues.

Well restart it, try using Edge to access Google, sign in and use your google drive to back up your important files to the cloud.
How old is it? It might not have enough RAM to run Win10.

Ah... the old firefox is not responding thing...
That made me get rid of my anti-virus. Damn thing kept "updating" or checking random files and flood the hard drive with requests, while firefox is one of those programs that also likes to hog the hard drive for himself... so... one had to give... and the one running on a lowlife user account (firefox) got low priority.
I now have a windows without an AV... well, except for the M$ thing that's always there...
And it still stops responding sometimes... but not as bad as when I had avira there... now, it stops just responding for a second or two at a time... once in a very long while.
And this is with an SSD... Maybe it wouldn't even be an issue on a standard HDD... I don't know...

I've restarted it a bazillion times. Edge is not responding as well. It's years old. Perhaps I need to uninstall 10 and go back to 8.

Being pleased that psycho potato nazi thing is gone.
If you want to convince people of anything, charging in and insulting them all en masse and calling for them to be incinerated is not a good strategy.
But as Stimbo says, it's not his stinking views he was banned for.
Enjoying being a mod and doing lots of mod jobs! Getting more confident  I even got to use my big voice!

Probably wise. 10 is pretty resource intensive. It probably doesn't have enough RAM. You need at least 4GB, better to have 8GB.
If you can roll it back, I would try getting back to Win7.

What a coincidence - I'm typing a book about readography.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'll try it. At least I have my tablet. If all else fails, I'm still online through that.
