    computers don't get faster, only slower.

    this MAY help though: https://darkflux.net/shared/fix.doc

    but the best way to speed up a Win8 PC is to install Windows 7 on it.

    Upgrade to Win 10 if your hardware allows it or get a new computer with more up-to-date hardware. 

    Windows 8 and 8.1 already reached the end of Mainstream Support on January 9, 2018. Right now the operating system is in what is known as extended support.
