| Why Your PC LAGS? |
1. Storage Device
Friends, many people's PC or laptop only has HDD ie Harddisk. So you will be surprised to know that this is the biggest reason for your pc to lag. The writing and reading speed of Hard Disk is very less. Due to which your processor is not able to get data or information on time, due to which your pc starts to lag. Then what is its solution? Its a very straightforward and easy solution, you should use SSD instead of HDD in your pc, although SSD is a bit more expensive than HDD but you also get good performance from its share of price. If you want to know about HDD and SSD in detail, then you can also read this post of ours.

2. Processor
Suppose you also have an SSD, yet if your PC is lagging, then the reason for this may be your processor. Processor is an important part of your PC without which your PC cannot run. The processor is also called the brain of the computer. If your pc has old processor then there is 100% chance of your pc to lag. Your pc should have at least Intel's i3 processor and if AMD's then Ryzen 3. According to me, Intel core i5 and AMD Ryzen 5 in your pc will be a very good option for you if you are thinking of getting a new pc or proccessor. Many people make a mistake while taking the proccessor, they think that the newer the proccessor, the better it will work but let me tell you that if you compare Intel's core i3 10th generation and i5 1st generation then i3 10th generation proccessor will win. That's why you should take new generation processor instead of more core.
3. RAM
Suppose if your PC has Intel i5 10th generation processor and 500 GB SSD and RAM is only 2GB then there is no doubt that your PC will lag. If your pc has all the above mentioned things then according to that your pc has 4GB RAM (minimum) and 8GB RAM (Recommended). Not only should you have more GB of RAM, but you should also pay attention to its DDR, its speed.
So these were the reasons due to which your PC may lag, it is not necessary that only because of these reasons your PC is lagging, there can be many other reasons for this. If you have any question related to this then you can ask me in comment or you can contact me.
