Laptop is getting slow, is there a way to get it faster again?

I have 706Gb free space out of 869Gb. Thats about 160Gb's of space that im using.
I doubt its the hard drive

it's less about the space on the hard drive and more about a clean start

and if you're using windows (which it sounds like), you could probably swap to something like Ubuntu and see if that's faster
you haven't really told us the purpose of it yet, if you're just using it to host things you could go with a headless version of Ubuntu, if it's for more than just internet browsing (gaming), then windows might be needed

Linux works for gaming for the most part. I haven't gotten Victoria 2 to work, but otherwise I've gotten every game I've tried to work just fine on Debian with WINE. Still, I wouldn't recommend it if you don't want Linux for other reasons.

Also the best thing to do is to simply upgrade your HDD to an SSD.

this so much

If I remember SSDs are much faster

I'd honestly just dual boot it. It's a little more work but then you can use linux for almost everything and then boot up windows on the off chance that WINE doesn't work.
