    Well, you want to reinstall windows, correct ?

    That will clean up your pc and make it lightning fast.

    In order to activate that new install you need an activation key.

    You do not optimize drivers, you just install the latest one.

    And even that is not always the best idea, if you don`t have any issues with your hardware, it`s not always wise to upgrade a driver.

    If you just installed windows yesterday and it`s slow then I would think your installer is shoddy.

    Did you check windows update ?

    It should be set to this setting.
    Well I hope it's not a hardware problem. I think I have the latest driver installed for my GPU.
    The thing is, I built my PC in January this year and using the same USB with the same Windows Installer, it worked well, I didn't have any problems with it. I don't really know what causes the slowing.
    Why should I have the updates like that?

    Because you want to know exactly what each update is for.

    You could be installing updates you don`t need.

    Microsoft is pushing out Windows 10 updates, and if you don`t want Windows 10 well....... need I say more.

    If you just installed windows yesterday, it should not be slow.

    Good Luck :)

    And what does that have to do with Windows 7 running slow?

    If you are installing updates windows might run slow :)

    I would just reinstall and don`t do any updating or install any drivers, see if it`s fast, then go from there.

    Good Luck :)

    Until you get genuine windows I can`t help you anymore

    When it's running slow and lagging ,go to Task manager to check what's using your CPU and memory.
    Don't tell me it's svchost.exe.

    And to fully optimize your PC you may want to :
    Tweak BIOS
    Overclock
    Keep DPC latency low
    Disable unnecessary services
    Defrag once in a while
    Disable unnecessary startup programs
    Set it up the way you like it

    That's really odd memory usage for Firefox several loaded tabs.
