      2. Press the Windows logo key + X key on the keyboard.
      3. Click Control Panel.
      4. Click System and Security.
      5. Under Security and Maintenance, select Troubleshoot common problems.

      You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tSulGV.

      If you'd like to free up more space on your computer you can look at programs you could remove.
      Uninstalling or removing software or applications that you do not use or do not need from your PC can help speed up your PC. Applications may include background processes, system services, context menu entries and other things that can slow down your PC.

      Uninstall applications you no longer need using Programs and Features (previously called Add/Remove Programs). Unnecessary applications occupy space on your hard disk drive.

      1. Press the Windows logo key + R on the keyboard.
      2. In the Run dialog box, type appwiz.cpl and press the Enter key.
      3. In the list, select a program and click Uninstall.

      We hope these tips help your computer run the way you'd like it to.

      Best,

      Hello Sarahmomma2boys - If you believe that you're experiencing slowness on your computer because of your connection we'd recommend the following:
      1. Run the Network Troubleshooter.
      a) Touch and hold or right-click the network icon (Available Networks or Network Icon, located in the lower right-hand corner).
      b) Touch or click Troubleshoot problems and then follow the prompts.

    I bought two of these for my children just for surfing the web. Mind you, I realize these would not be for gaming but you can hardly even surf the web. Even after disabling pre-programed apps and cutting off unnecessary stuff, it is still SLOW and never any room to download anything. Please, don't waste your time.

      LadyLinux,

      Thanks for your review and we're sorry to hear that you're having storage and performance issues on your new computers. We'd recommend that you run the Windows Performance Troubleshooter to see if there's anything else you can do to improve the performance of your computer:

      1. Close all open windows.
      2. Press the Windows logo key + X key on the keyboard.
      3. Click Control Panel.
      4. Click System and Security.
      5. Under Security and Maintenance, select Troubleshoot common problems.
      6. Under System and Security, click Run maintenance tasks.
      7. Follow the on-screen instructions and prompts to complete the process.
      8. Restart the PC. You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tSulGV.

      If you store some files in the cloud with Microsoft's OneDrive hopefully you can free up some space on the computer as well.

      Best,
      Bryan

    This was bought as a Christmas gift for my 11 year old. Net Nanny was installed easily and speed does not appear to be diminished. It is used primarily for sending emails and some online games and so far there have been no complaints, which is a great sign from a pre-teen. Very good value for the price!
