Speed optimization & SSD upgrades in Papillion

The classic Papillion speed complaint is a shared family desktop or laptop — the one computer that's had every kid's game, every browser extension, and years of "just click install" piled onto it. Nobody did anything wrong; it's just what happens to a machine that multiple people rely on for years without a cleanup.

Clearing out startup bloat, updating drivers, and — for older machines still running a traditional hard drive — swapping in a solid-state drive (SSD) can make a computer feel noticeably faster without replacing it. We'll tell you honestly when that upgrade makes sense for a family's budget and when the machine's age means a replacement is the better call.
