I find that the desktop and laptop which I have are extremely slow, especially when online, wasting a lot of time. Since I do not want to purchase a new computer, is there any way I can increase the speed of my desktop/laptop quickly?

I'm sure there are some ways to boost your computer there are a bunch of easy to follow videos on youtube
First defragment the hard drive, then clean the %temp% folder and then the %appdata% folder. This is one of the tips that improves the performance of your operating system.

One common way I know is that there should always be enough space. Most times we tend to overload our laptops with too much things, this usually cause the laptop to slow down or lag.
Try to replace your HHD (hard disk) with SSD (solid state hard disk); it makes your computer faster and can run faster, but if you are not planning to buy anything, then try to free up some spaces on the hard disk and uninstall unwanted softwires which is running in background, You can see which software is running in background by opening "task manager."
You can buy RAM separately to upgrade the RAM capacity of your computer. That would help in it's operational speed.
I think that if the computer is very old, nothing will help it. However, one of the methods is to clean everything and start from the beginning, that is, to configure all programs, because in this way you can delete files you do not need, as well as hidden viruses
