I've been experiencing lag on my PC for months now, which makes simple tasks like browsing the web and watching videos quite frustrating. I want to know if I should upgrade any parts of my system. Here are my specs:
- Processor: i5 10400f
- Graphics Card: RTX 3070
- Motherboard: H410M HV2
- RAM: 16GB
- Storage: 250GB SSD and 1TB HDD

It could be an issue with Windows, or maybe your SSD is almost full. Since you mentioned it lagged while searching, it's worth checking if your SSD is causing slowdowns. Also, how full is your SSD right now?
An SSD that's running low on space can definitely lead to performance issues, even if you have free space. Make sure your SSD isn't overloaded with too many files or programs. Also, check your RAM usage; it can vary depending on what you're doing. If you have multiple tabs open, that could slow things down as well.
I currently have around 80GB free on my 250GB SSD. How do I determine if it's a Windows problem?
