Messed around with my laptop for a few hours - performance improved over 100x !

I would be playing online games and the lag would be unreal. The ping would reach 961. The laptop would make really loud whirring noises and crash. The side of the laptop would get so hot it would burn my fingers.
So I uninstalled and deleted my old antivirus softwares and got a new one. I also cleared all my internet history and cookies. I deleted about 20 GB of junk files, disabled the non essential browser plugins, and defragmented my files.
Restarted the laptop and BOOM!
Instead of a loud whirring, it sounds normal. Instead of burning my fingers, the hard drive has a temperature of 37 Degrees Celsius. Instead of taking 5 minutes to switch on, it takes 5 seconds. I am now able to watch YouTube videos without having to wait 3 hours for them to buffer. They load straight away. My games no longer lag.
And I set up a system restore point to this point, so if I fuck up the performance again, I can get it back to this point
