How long has it been? It can take several days and 3 or 4 reboots for
it to speed up. First defrag. The boot prefetch will kick in after the
3 rd reboot. It takes several days for the prefetch folder to be
rebuilt. And the in built optimization kicks in every 3 days. After
that defrag again. If the system is still slow after some days try some
clean boot troubleshooting to see what may be hanging up on startup. A
program may need to be uninstalled / reinstalled:
