Regardless of type of CPU (Central Processing Unit) or amount of RAM (Random Access Memory), eventually windows computer systems performance decreases within time.

To understand how to keep your system constantly running at peak performance go to:

The other possible reasons are that windows uses Event Logs which Log dates and information about events that take place in your computer every day. Basicaly what windows does is it collects data from programmes you run and when you log on and off your computer. This for an example is an Event that took place on my computer as an example of what I mean:

Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance
Date: 10/11/2009 19:29:00
Event ID: 351
Task Category: Standby Performance Monitoring
Level: Warning
Keywords: Event Log
User: LOCAL SERVICE

Description:
This driver responded slower than expected to the resume request while servicing this device:
Driver File Name : \Driver\ACPI
Driver Friendly Name : ACPI Driver for NT
Driver Version : 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205)
Driver Total Time : 32ms
Driver Degradation Time : 28ms
Incident Time (UTC) : 10/11/2009 19:33:05
Device Name : ACPI\PNP0B00\4&10eb508c&0
Device Friendly Name : System CMOS/real time clock
Device Total Time : 32ms
Device Degradation Time : 0ms

Now this is one of the Events that windows regurly Logs into theEvent log every day. This can take up a lot of MBs and even GBs of precious memory on your Hard Drive.

This can clog up your hard drive making your computer sower than usual.

The othe reason are windows restore points... Restore points are files that windows saves when you are deleting data from your Hard Drive or changing the computers registry so that if something goes wrong or th computer broke the restore points which have information about saved settings and data before the error so windows can restore the changes making windows work again. You can remove these with windows disk cleaner.

The answer is yes. Windows has a file on your hardrive called a page file that it uses for additional memory if the normal memory (RAM) gets full. Hard disk is much slower than memory so yes, it becomes vastly slower.

Is their any software for RAM memory extension?

All modern computers use the hard drive or other storage media to extend the apparent size of the RAM of the system. Windows calls this the 'swap file' and the size can be adjusted, although Windows usually takes care of this itself. This method has a performance penalty when used excessively, though, and should not be used to calculate the system RAM size when buying new software which may require more. A RAM upgrade is the cheapest performance enhancement you can do for a slower computer, so spend your money on more RAM instead of software to make the system think it has more.


Why is Windows 8.1 so much slower than Windows 8 Is there anything that can be done to fix it?

There is no one reason why Windows 8.1 seems to run much slower than Windows 8, it has to do with the programming. Microsoft has released several updates since early 2013 to help improve the speed.
