I used to advise everyone to increase memory and buy a larger hard drive for capacity. I know that most folks cannot jump right away into doing this. If you can do this I suggest it highly.
What seems to be going on is rather normal. It is do to lack of cleaning, registry etc. ccleaner will do all that for you and the best thing about it, "Its Free". Also go through and delete any unused software that you no longer need. Also get documents, photo's and anything that is in storage to a USB stick or DVD or external hard drive. This will clear up the bog and also the extra files involved to make the system work harder.
Also be sure to defrag and disk clean often. You can also get free defraggler program there as well which is faster and it again is free these are what I use. Look for it when you go to ccleaner at the link above please be sure to repost if this does not solve the issue. If none of this work you will need to get more RAM and depending on your hard drive size maybe that as well.
Bless You! John
