Well guys I am well known for just about hanging on to by my finger tip when dealing with computers,but yesterday I managed all by myself to correct a slow running windows 7 laptop.
The problem seemed to be that the laptop kept verifying my broadband connection,every few seconds it would try this and so slowed the laptop.
My solution was to go into the power management,it was set to I suspect the default option of normal or balanced,I just changed this to the option to use the most power,it seemed like the best option for me as I may only use the laptop away from a mains power source maybe twice a year.
The result was it cured at once the verifying the broadband and the laptop is running way faster and it has also cured the web site not found problem as well.
I am now trying to work up the courage to tackle the other halves windows 10 laptop that baby scares the life out of me but hey all I need is find where the power options are how hard can that be
