Windows laptop, about 3 years old. After the last update it takes forever to boot and the fan runs constantly.

Check Task Manager > Startup apps and disable everything you don't need. Updates sometimes re-enable stuff.

If it still has a hard drive instead of an SSD, swapping to an SSD is the best $40 you'll spend.

Clone the drive first and it's a 20 minute job.
