An end user's PC is taking a long time to boot. Which of the following operations would be the BEST to resolve this issue with minimal expense? (Select two.)

Reducing the number of programs that launch at startup directly shortens the time Windows spends initializing services and applications during the boot sequence, producing an immediate and measurable improvement.

Defragmenting a traditional HDD reorganizes fragmented files so the read head can access them in fewer seeks, improving read speeds for OS and application files loaded during boot.

Installing additional RAM improves overall system performance but has a financial cost, violating the minimal-expense requirement.

Installing a faster hard drive (SSD) would significantly improve boot time but involves a hardware purchase cost.

Ending processes in Task Manager affects the running system after boot has already completed and has no effect on the next boot cycle.

Disk Cleanup removes temporary and junk files to free up storage space but does not directly reduce boot time or improve file access speeds.
