    Hi, I bought week ago Inspiron 15 SR and I have some problems with this laptop. It's work very very slow. I format a system and I installed a Windows 8 Pro. But the problem is still. I installed all driver.
    Do you know what's going on ?

    I have some extra partition:
    500 MB (EFI)
    40 MB (OEM)
    490 MB (Recovery Partition)
    14.36 GB (Recovery Partition)
    and my 3 partition.

    Should I delete any of these partition ?

    You should format all, removing recovery, OEM,EFI, Blootware Extra and any other partitions and create your own. Reinstall Windows 7, put fresh drivers and master the msconfig function to control the processes.

    I doubt anyone can give you a straight answer - there may be many reasons why it is slow. Last week I had a friend come over with a "slow" but new Lenovo, turned out he didn't have drivers for the graphics card.
