There are too many factors to give a simple answer. Firstly how big is your hard disc and, more importantly, how much free space remains. The age of the PC and the processor always work against you; with my five year old laptop sometimes it gets like walking through a muddy field! And the inevitable Windows updates add to the bloat. Back to point one; I think 15% free space comes into it somewhere; probably with a defrag program - I use one when I remember, sometimes it helps sort a cluttered HDD. You need answers from someone with more up to date PC know-how. I was OK with the old 386/486 computers with DOS !!!!!
