Turn off the laptop and unplug it. Use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen-cleaning solution. Gently wipe the screen in circular motions to avoid streaks. Avoid using paper towels or any rough cloth.
Reduce screen brightness, disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, close unused applications, and use power-saving mode. Also, consider replacing the battery if it no longer holds a charge effectively.
Check for malware using antivirus software. Clear temporary files with Disk Cleanup. Increase virtual memory and consider upgrading RAM. Disable unnecessary startup programs by typing 'msconfig' in the Run dialog.
