Laptop slow should I backup and factory reset?
My Laptop has been running slower and slower lately and I was thinking it was just time to get a new one. Until I heard that backing up my files and doing a factory reset could restore my Laptop's functionality.
I'm not sure if I should because I'm scared I'll lose a lot of my data.
I've purchased an external hard drive but, I'm not sure how to backup anything.
Is a back up all I need to do or do I need to copy specific files onto my external hard drive before I reset?
