I used to think a clean install was always the answer for a slow PC, but this one repair shop in Omaha changed my mind
They spent 30 minutes cleaning out startup programs and temp files on a client's 5 year old laptop instead of doing a full wipe, and it ran like new. Everyone says to nuke it from orbit, but sometimes the simpler fix is actually better. When do you guys decide a clean install is actually necessary versus just doing a deep clean?

Only if the OS itself is corrupted, otherwise just clean it up.

Windows 10's reset tool can do that clean install.
