Laptop issue

My laptop 3 years old, working kinda slowly. What can I do to speed up it? or better just to buy a new one?

Reinstall windows?

Yeah, a windows re-install is always a good first move on an aging rig that's performing poorly.

What is the issue though? Slow app loads or something else? If it doesn't have one, an SSD will do wonders for it.

SSD, more RAM if it doesn't have a lot, re-install Windows (if you must use Windows).

More information needed OP.

What are the specs?

But yeah, the standard advice of an SSD, extra RAM and use the SSD install to give it a new install of Windows (Windows 10 preferably while it is still free) sound like a plan.

It didn't help after I reinstalled the windows, I have got new asus anyway

Well, you never said what specs it has (CPU, RAM, HDD, etc...). Hard to help you speed a laptop up. Usually swapping out the hard drive for an SSD will do.
