So my mother gifted me her old laptop HP PAVILION15 because I was needing one for work.

She told me (at that point In time) that hadn’t used it or even turned it on for the last 3 months. If that plays any part…

I have factory reset the computer. Ran memory diagnostic… defragmented it… and have run SEVERAL antimalarial searches and still the pc is so dam slow.. its to the point I cant even use it for 5 minutes because it just stays stuck

I don’t even care if it breaks I am now just genuinely curious as to what the he’ll is going on with it

Any and all help is appreciated. I’m hoping maybe someone could walk me thru some steps of what they think it could be

Anti malware searches, anti virus searches. Defragmented the hard-drive.. I ran memory diagnostic.
