Ask HN: Is it me or windows 10 slow as sh**?

Pay for a windows PC like you would pay for a Mac. Get Razor (expensive but also good looking and high performance), or Lenovo Thinkpad/Ideapad (best price to performance, don't buy any other). Buy at-least 16gigs of ram, min i7 or i9 processor and a good nvidia gpu (1050 or 1060 min). You'll be set for at-least the next five years unless Moore's law on singled threaded performance starts to get on track.

Any processor prior to 2014 is old. And any processor after 2018 that isn't a quad core is also old in my opinion.

My Windows PC is fast and its a breeze to work on. Just don't cheap out on a good device. They're worth it.

Lol. I use both mac and PC. I have a theory. The more you curse at them the slower it gets. I think their voice asst captures the curses and slurs and assigns a cursometer rating. It determines how fast my windows works.

Since then I boot my pc and I say, I love my country, my God and microsoft (the other two are necessary to sound sincere). Since then things have felt better. It atleast stops the Belichek type of urges.

Seriously though, if your file explorer does not start, it helps to start the task manager and open a task in file menu, named explorer.exe.

I have such tips for mundane things like outlook or Chrome.

I have started believing that microsoft does not love me.

Thx dudes. Seems i need new pc.
