    After a few years, our laptops begin to slow down in performance or are sometimes even unusable because of their weak components. In addition, they can't perform well with the new updated OS systems unless you buy an expensive, top-of-the-line laptop. So, in the end, you are left with one choice: buying a new laptop or PC, or if you're like me, scouring the internet for a cheap solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What I ended up finding is that people who are tech geeks already have a solution for this problem. They replace the OS on their computers with a lightweight yet easy-to-use Linux OS for people who are used to having Windows and Mac computers.<\/p>\n\n\n

    These operating systems are pre-installed on a USB drive. When plugged in, they refresh and speed up your old PC and laptop without requiring additional knowledge and can easily be done by yourself even though you don't know much about computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this article, we'll cover our top pics and see which is the best solution to speed up your old computer. So, without further ado, let's get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Easy to adapt and use<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • It comes with exclusive and essential software<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Compatible with Mac and old Windows computers from 2004 onwards<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Xtra-PC Pro comes with file rescue software<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Doesent touch or modify your existing files<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • The file rescue software is only available on the Pro version<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Xtra-PC Ultra is our number-one choice for fixing your slow or dead computer. It's easy, quick, and requires no complicated installation process. In addition, it works on various desktops, notebooks, and laptops made in 2004 or newer, whether Mac or PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        You have a broken, missing, or corrupted hard drive, and the computer cannot start. That is not a problem, especially with the Xtra-PC Ultra Pro version, which provides storage for your photos, files, music, and movies. It even comes equipped with file rescue software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        You can keep all your existing files because Xtra-PC Ultra does not touch or modify them, whereas, with other products or solutions, you might need to transfer files to access and store them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        When you compare Xtra-PC Ultra with other Linux OS versions, you need to know that with others, you are only getting the OS that you then need to download and install on the device manually. After all that, you still have to install applications to prepare your old computer for everyday tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
