My laptop is bugged up and I need some help..
I do not know a lot about computers, but I'm always looking to learn. I've googled before posting, and not come up with much. I don't really know where to start, and I do know many of you are very knowledgeable with computers. So i'm here asking for some help.
My problems
Upon startup, I receive a black screen with white writing saying my disks need to be scanned for errors, press any key to skip. I let it scan once, and it hung about 24% of the way. Lately I've been skipping it and starting it normally.
Lag. This computer lags like crazy, and it never used to. The first year of ownership were absolutely trouble free, lately It freezes daily and has to be restarted a few times.
Bloatware. What can I remove safely? I just want some speed out of this machine..
Here are a few pics of what I think might help. If there's anything else that can help you guide me, let me know, I can post more up.
Thanks
