Day 41 [Research: "Why is my computer slow?" - Day 3]

Advancing through the pdf, I've learned solutions to the frozen "Shutting down" window. There are many causes to this so having to go through a process of elimination is going to take a lot of time. However, the likely cause of this problem is due to a program or service related to that program. To solve this, run the program "Run" and type msconfig and press enter. Click on the service tab and check the 'Hide all Microsoft services' after doing so, click on the 'Disable all' option and re-enable the first service in the list. After doing so take note and restart the computer and repeat the process until the problem risen again. You now have a big idea on which one is causing the problem and all that's left to do is have that program/service disabled at all time. Another thing that I've learned from reading the pdf is that you're able to transplant a used HDD into a new PC. It's a simple process of having the PC turned off, open up the inside and removing the HDD and inserting it into an empty drive bay in the new PC. If you want to import your files from your HDD into a laptop, you would need an external USB enclosure to transport it via USB.
