Stop downloading “stuff” especially if you admit that you’re technology illiterate. It’s most likely slow cause of all the junk you have.

Format it and don’t download anything that is unnecessary is probably your safest bet.

If you don’t know what you’re doing, seriously, you’re much better off not downloading anything.
…you said that you buy CD’s and grocery online…..why do I have a feeling you’re trolling?
so say my neighbours (just moved in) can they nick my bandwidth?

maybe from everything thats running on your computer that could make your internet slow
try and erase some stuff,
download
CCleaner
When you do, and run the program, you’ll see 2 sides, 1 side has check boxes, don’t touch that. then on the other side you see a big box & under that you see 2 buttons, analyze and Run cleaner, click analyze, wait maybe 2–3-5 mins, a LOT of files might appear, don’t worry none of them will mess up your computer. click run cleaner once the analyzer is complete. You’ll have alot of space left
Another program, which is a trial. but it optimize your computer, and fixes your computer like if it was brand new. seriously.
called
TuneUp Utilities
if you install it
& need help just comment me..
but ccleaner & TuneUp are very Good Computers. and could really fix your computer like if it was brand new
