I recently started using my computer. It used to work great up until awhile ago (I believe sometime in February?) when it suddenly would become very slow. Using it now it‘s noticeably very laggy and it’s eating up my memory. I thought that maybe it was some outdated drivers I had that was causing some lag, but the issue still hasn’t been resolved. Should I invest in more ram or would it be the better option to switch back to windows 10? Currently on 11 with 8GB of ram.

More details:

Edition: Windows 11 Home

Version: 24H2

Installed: 2/28/26

OS Build: 26100.8875

I can’t attach any images, but my bios is HP Setup Utility version 2.17.1255. I tried to setup a VM with VMware but got an error saying I needed to enable virtualization. If anybody has any helpful links or knows what to do please let me know. Thank you for your time.

When I got taken to the trade compliance and download conditions its requiring me to put in a company. I'm downloading this for personal use. Is workstation pro only for companies? When I attempted finding workstation it just said it wasn't available for download.
