I too have lost my zippyness but this old PC is going on 10 years and running just fine on this build.I went ahead and clean installed Ghost Sceptre on my old Asus.
The nearly 10-year-old rig was dragging its feet trying to run 26220.9492 25H on that X751BP (AMD A9-9420).
It kept disconnecting on RDP and the HDD was always out of breath.
The system is mostly used as a file server hosting 3 SSDs.
The installation ran overnight on top of the Insiders Beta without issue.
I must say that after a clean install of Ghost Sceptre, it almost feel like a new(er) laptop.
The cleanup of the old OS (nearly 48 GBs) took a long time though.
It has not once yet lost its connection on RDP and unlike me, is now pretty zippy.
