- If you've got a pre-built computer, sometimes the product key is embedded in the firmware. A big mistake would be assuming it's not there just because you can't see it. Turn on your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing a key like F2 or Delete during boot). You might find it hiding there! It's like finding a surprise in the bottom of a cereal box—pleasantly unexpected.
- Speed Test: Perform a speed test (such as through speedtest.net) to see if your internet connection is slower than expected. Wired vs. Wireless: If you're using Wi-Fi, try connecting your PC directly to the router with an Ethernet cable to see if that improves performance. Network Congestion: Check if there are other devices using a lot of bandwidth on your network.
- Check your system's resource usage. Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), and see if there are any processes consuming a lot of CPU or RAM. Close unnecessary applications running in the background that can consume system resources.

- If you're primarily experiencing lag in web apps, it could be due to issues with the web browser you are using. Browsers can sometimes have performance issues due to heavy resource consumption.
If your internet connection is slow or unstable, it will impact web apps, especially those that require real-time communication. Check your connection speed and stability.
While native apps are directly linked to the system resources, web apps run within a browser or a container, which might require more resources depending on how they're built.
It depends on the hardware specs. This is true for 4GB RAM devices.
