windows 7 - What is more effective for reviving performance - cleanup utilities or reinstalling the OS?


My 1.5 year old Toshiba Net Book running Windows 7 is slowing down. Will running clean-up utilities or re-installing Windows be more effective for reviving its performance?



Answer



A reinstall will assure a "clean slate" while a utility can help only to a limited extent.


Utilities generally are somewhat limited in what they clean up to avoid breaking applications or worse. They can be a good start, but a reinstall will usually be better
