I just purchased a TC885. Why does it load web pages slower than dial up?

Hi @taslikchikn62, 

Is the computer slow in loading ONLY Internet web pages or slow in all actions which you do in the computer? 

If computer total performance is slow, you can try increasing the virtual memory to boost up computer performance. 

There is a formula for calculating the correct pagefile size. Initial size is one and a half (1.5) x the amount of total system memory. Maximum size is three (3) x the initial size. So let's say you have 4 GB (1 GB = 1,024 MB x 4 = 4,096 MB) of memory. The initial size would be 1.5 x 4,096 = 6,144 MB and the maximum size would be 3 x 6,144 = 18,432 MB.

Please follow below steps to change Windows 10 Virtual Memory / Pagefile

1. Bring up the System page by either:
   
   • Pressing the Windows logo key  + Pause
   • Pressing the Windows logo key  + X to bring up the Power Usermenu and press Y to select System
   • Right-clicking on the Windows logo  on the Start menu to bring up the Power User menu and select System
2. Make note of the installed memory (RAM)
   
3. Click on the Advanced system settings link
4. Click on the Advanced tab of the System Properties dialog box
   
5. Click on the Settings ... button in the Performance section
6. Click on the Advanced tab of the Performance Options dialog box
   
7. Click on the Change ... button inside of the Virtual memorysection
8. Deselect the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box
   
9. Select Custom size and enter the initial size and maximum size using the calculation shown above
10. Click on the Set button

Yeah, we really have too little to go on so far. Is the computer as a whole running slow or is it just web browsing? Do some pages load fine and others slowly? How are you connected to the internet, wired or wireless? There are several different versions of the TC-885, can you let us know which processor, how much memory, HDD or SSD, etc.?
