Has OneNote been mentioned?

I've been using this for over a year now, the only gripe I have with it is the lack of source code formatting when copying from SQL Server Management Studio to OneNote. Word manages it ok

OneNote is handy, the only thing that annoys me is that some of the funky stuff i.e. mathematical equations, doesn't work in office live.

My 4 year old Lenovo still goes like tulip off a shovel

Have you tried the usual things like defragging, run malware bytes, and so on?

Whats that like compared to the SyncToy?

I looked at SyncToy and in the end purchased Allway Sync. I can't remember now why I preferred Allway but I'm very happy with it.

It probably needs a fresh install. The amount of crap some people have running on their PC's is quite often the main culprit.
Also don't run multiple AV and Anti spyware programs. They will kill your performance

What model & spec is it? I might be able to offer you a tenner for it.
