Windows 8.1 pro problem

We need more information than that to do any form of diagnoses.

 

Try giving us your hardware, like CPU, and RAM, and a list of any 3rd party software you have installed that could cause a longer boot, like Stardock Fences 2.0

His system has to meet the minimum requirements, else Windows would not install. Been that way since XP that I know of (was too young to ever use anything before it)

My guess is, since OP said "just started lagging" this is a new issue, and having 2GB of RAM would've affected OP earlier. Yes though, we do need the specs to try and narrow down a diagnosis.
