    will a SSD solve my problems?


    As you know from my other posts here, I have the really slow laptop. Sure, it's an i7, but it's an older i7. It's got 6gigs of RAM and didn't use to have any problems at all. All scans are clean, disk is 1% fragmented and it won't even let me defrag it. I'm running no extra services or anything. Lately, it's gotten to where I need to close Firefox multiple times every day because it's using all my memory and slowing everything down. Programs take awhile to load. The start menu sometimes I have to wait 20 seconds from when I click on it to when it opens. I use OpenOffice, and when I have a spreadsheet up, sometimes when I click it, I have to wait 20 seconds before it responds. Lately I've been thinking about getting a new computer, but I'd rather spend less and get an SDD. Everyone on the internet says SDDs handle all your problems, they get everything going fast again.

    My Disk is often at 100%. When I close Firefox, which I do many times a day, it sits there and takes a while to close, and then after it finally stops running, Disk is at 100% for a while with Service Host: SysMain or System. Will SDD fix this or will it just give it more resources to use to 100%?

    :)

    Problem solved. DO NOT DEFRAG an SSD

    ATTENTION: I woke up in the middle of the night last night and was mulling over my default browser problem when it occurred to me that on Friday night I ran Auslogics defrag program's "optimize SSD". That could be the problem.

    This morning I did a system restore back to May 1st 2019 and, voila, I have my list of browsers back and Firefox is my default browser once again. Hallelujah.

    I read that one shouldn't defrag an SSD but some people think it is ok. Well, I thought, what could be the harm. It is harmful.

    Attention everyone: Don't fool with an SSD.*Mad

    Thanks to Edwin, CmmTech and all of you for your suggestions and help.

    will a SSD solve my problems?

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
