Download CCleaner fo a start. It's a free registry cleaner than will get rid of lots of browsing and registry junk.

Second, try Advanced Windows Cleaner. It can also tidy up a lot of ruubbish hanging around your PC.

Lastly, do a defrag. Use Iobit's defrag or Piriform Defraggler.

All these are free software.
