so is there anything wrong>

looks to be fairly normal, to be fair after a while it's normal for a PC to degrade in performance but that usually takes months or even years (depending on how well you manage your windows install)

Well it takes like a week or 2 then I reset and it's fine

Windows 11 Installation

If you are upgrading from Windows 10, you may need to enable TPM and Secure Boot in order to proceed with the Windows 11 installation - please follow the TPM & Secure Boot guide below first.

:warning: When reinstalling Windows, you will lose any files which are not backed up to the cloud or an external drive - please ensure any files you would like to keep are backed up before continuing.

:one: Click the button below and download the 'Create Windows 11 Installation Media' tool.
:two: Follow through the installation tool, and choose 'USB flash drive' when prompted. Your USB flash drive must be 8GB or greater.
:three: Once the tool has finished, shut down the PC you're installing Windows on and insert the USB drive.
:four: Next, repeatedly press the following key while your PC is turning on, depending on your motherboard:
rog ASUS/ROG: F8
aorus Aorus/Gigabyte: F12
msi asrock cp MSI/ASRock/Cyberpower: F11
Then choose your USB drive from the list to boot from it.
:five: Follow through the installation tool. When it asks for your product key, click Skip - your PC will automatically reactivate. Make sure to select the same Windows version as you ordered with your PC, then choose a Custom installation.
:six: Select the drive in which you would like to install Windows on (you will want to install Windows on your SSD, this is typically a smaller drive), delete any partitions which already exist and then select Drive # Unallocated Space, and click Next.
:seven: Once your PC restarts, you will be taken to the first-time setup screen, where you can setup your user account and preferences.

That's one of the ways I do it but I don't know to use windows 10 or 11

hollow lagoon
#

Which would be better for performance overall windows 10 or 11?

simple yoke
#

windows 11 is newer so i'd go with that

hollow lagoon
#

Alright

#

Thanks

wait so what should i do as of now>

it's up to you - i'd recommend reinstalling windows manually with a USB to minimise the chance this is software related

as for your current specs - there's not much you can really do, your specs are performing within a reasonable range of an average system, you may just be reaching the limits of your hardware

could it have been from me not updating nvidia graphic drivers in a while and not downloading windows 24h2?

#

but its really weird cause ive never had this with non cyberpower products

#

like i used to have an asus laptop and i would say it might have been better than my pc in its current state

#

and i think this pc might be bottlenecked since i feel like i get better performance with medium/high graphics

ryzen 5 4500u with 4gb ddr4 and integrated graphics i think athlon gold
