After calculating the disk space gained, you will be redirected to the following screen:. As you may already know, Windows comes by default with some visual effects activated. You will then be prompted to the following screen:. Next, select an option from the ones available. At least, critical and security updates must be applied so that you can better prevent and fix bugs, errors, malicious software installation or intrusions.
Note that Microsoft often releases updates to fix some known bugs that exist on a fresh Windows installation. Some of these updates can even fix and optimize performance issues. Wait until Windows finds all available updates and then select the ones that you want to install.
In the end, you will probably have to restart your workstation. Remember, your computer may probably run software that is not needed all the time. Some of these programs can be disabled to increase speed. Remember that these programs may run in the back, so as a user you may not be aware of the running processes. Check the following image:. In many occasions, your computer can have low performance because it may be infected with viruses.
The best method of dealing with viruses is by installing an antivirus program and run it on a regular basis. In Windows 7, you can install Microsoft Security Essentials for free and it will do the job perfectly.
Generally speaking to get stuff loaded and booting faster, get an SSD, but that will NOT usually help during game play unless the game is disk intensive and not because of swapping. If you are swapping, adding RAM can help. Then the hassle of installing it as you might not be able to connect 2 drives to do this copy over the existing C: drive.
There is something about a Secret Special Registry Setting posted on this topic thread. That is the bottleneck, but I'm willing guess that would be the disk drive? Probably a RPM one too An SSD would work wonders. However, like I said, since you have a laptop you'll need a larger drive and these can be expensive and a possible pain to duplicate. Going to a RPM drive with a large cache should improve the speed but not by a lot. The bottleneck is the CPU Score, 5. Nothing but replacing the CPU will increase the score.
Not every system service that is running on a stock Windows 7 machine is necessary. A number of services can either be disabled or modified to run only when needed. Once you make these changes, the service no longer has to consume system resources and the system no longer has to spend time starting the service. Windows 7 systems eventually begin to suffer under the weight of software that is installed in the normal course of business.
Many software titles install more than is necessary and include helper applications designed solely to make the software start up more quickly or facilitate other communication e. And new software installations might add a permanent presence to the system tray, even if it's not absolutely necessary for the system to function Steam games, for example. You could go through your system tool by tool and remove the offending software, but you might want to keep the underlying tool around and just prevent the helper from loading.
This and more can be accomplished through the use of MSconfig, a tool that has long been a part of Windows. MSconfig allows you to selectively disable startup items and take other steps toward improving overall system performance. From the Startup tab Figure A , you can disable items. Just be careful about what you choose. I've long felt that Microsoft's OEMs sometimes actively work against the Redmond behemoth and sully the company's name.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of what has become known as "bloatware. Frankly, this is one of the reasons that I believe that Microsoft's Surface announcement, in which Microsoft noted that it would make its own device, is brilliant.
The company needs to start with a clean slate in some ways no pun intended. If your PC shipped with a bunch of stuff you'll never use, get rid of that software. If the software adds items to the startup process, getting rid of it will make the PC start faster and, ultimately, perform better overall.
If you're running Windows, you need to be running an anti-malware program to keep viruses and spyware off your system. Nothing will ruin good performance like a boatload of spyware. My personal favorite and free! In my experience, it's been successful in catching bad stuff while not significantly degrading system performance itself. How much RAM do you have? Is your system consuming all or most of your RAM? Does the system page out to disk?
