If your PC is slow, and and running out of memory for apps. It may be time for an upgrade.

Your Core2Duo machine is a little old now there buddy.

You have windows 95 as a OS that just "worked"

Windows 7 was the first Windows OS that "Just Worked"

One thing that may be worth considering is the quality of corporate laptops that are handed out versus, say, a top of the line custom-built PC.

Outside of any gaming rig I've built I've never used a good Windows computer for work. Not a "top of the line" laptop, not a virtual desktop client, nothing. Every single one has absolutely sucked.

They give non-developers at my work Surface devices, and those people have nothing but issues.

Core2Duo might be old but apparently MS also considers skylake i5s "old" as well.

It might be time to downgrade office instead.

tbf, skylake is 14nm and 6 yrs old now. It is objectively old, though probably good enough for another 5+yrs.
