Zooming along super fast, super fast booting, speedy Gonzales. Better than when I first got it. I put up with it being pathetic a long time, it slowly creeps up on you the degradation. It also went through more normal periods and then unexplainably collapse in exhaustion.

picture with new NVME in place. I did put the nvme covers back on Laptop also needs a new battery. it is pretty dead will only stay on 30 mins Tip back cover screws are captured, wont fall out of cover, and flex cover up slightly in middle longwise when removing and reinstalling, it allows the...

I left the old Toshiba NVME out. I figured why bother, the new crucial is 2x bigger than it was, and what if it is infected. I can keep it and build another PC for the boat using it, maybe.

I just put in a new T500 Crucial NVME 1GB and reinstalled windows 11. And it is super fast again, like zooming. Windows installer tried to put all my apps back in but it seemed to not work even though I had told it not to do that. It did restore some stuff like the desktop theme It also showed...

Took a picture of it, here it is. I swapped in a Crucial t500 1gb NVME, reinstalled windows, and the laptop is super fast again I was wondering if the Toshiba NVME has failed

I have a 500 gb NVME I put in a Dell years ago, and cannot find one to check the drive. I am planning on putting in a new Crucial T500 NVME in it today I suppose I could keep both in this laptop as it has 2 slots

I found out I put a Toshiba 500gb NVME drive in this laptop. I am thinking of putting in a new WDC500gb NVME I have here and starting over

It did finally bring up windows, but if things are not fixed, I am going to nuke the OS and start over. I have older AMD chip PC's with SATA SSD drives and they run rings around this Dell Laptop with NVME and 32 gb ram, Dell Precision 7530 I just noticed the snipping tool wont run right! Took...

This AM apparently the downloaded repair install was finished, and it told me to restart, said would take 10 to 30 minutes to reinstall. It went to updating screen, 0%,21%, etc.. went to 100%. I left. Came back and now I have a huge white mouse arrow that I can move and a black screen, and that...

Couple years ago, when I put in the WD Black NVME, this PC was super fast, instant. Now it is like molasses. So something is wrong with it. Any scans on the drive come back good. Painful to use this. I suppose if an OS freshening wont fix it, maybe the NVME has failed. A bad sign is you touch...

IT was sitting and sitting. I shut it down, said was updating, came up slowly. This Dell laptop has an NVME drive. a touch screen After a boot posting back here and at first the keys were lagging. Like type in a few words nothing appears, then it slowly posts to the screen I have no idea if it...

It's being very slow on this download, been stuck at 4% for 15 minutes. I may have to nuke the entire OS and start fresh.

It is still being slow, decided to try various reinstalls first one is this. It was never this slow when I first got it running windows 11 Like today, click on a tab, whole screen turns black for 3 seconds before page displays. Same kind of things, it is very sluggish

Opening the snipping tool can take 3 seconds...

For the past week, this laptop has been super slow. Loading any kind of web page takes a while. I have a good connection. Menu items also do not snap open fast as they used to do. Is stuff running interfering with the response? Sometimes clicking on an open tab shows a black screen for several...
