Ever since I upgraded from Windows 10 to 11, my laptop has been so slow?

Agreed. Another option is to run the built-in Disk Cleanup tool to clear out old Windows 10 files that might be taking up space and slowing things down. Hope that helps.

This. I had the same problem. For me, a clean install of Windows 11 instead of the upgrade made a huge difference in speed. Good luck!

Yeah, a clean install can help, but have you checked if your laptop meets the official Windows 11 system requirements, especially for TPM and Secure Boot?

Yeah, Also, what's your laptop model and how much RAM do you have installed? Let me know if that works.

This. You could also try disabling some of the visual effects in Windows 11, as that can free up resources. Another option is to check your startup programs and disable any you don't need.

Also, have you checked if your laptop meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11?
