In addition to well-chosen PC hardware, there is another often underestimated factor that can greatly affect its performance - the system. The default settings after installing Windows do not last long - with each new application the PC works more and more slowly, and after a period of active use freezes and brakes inevitably occur, which will help to cope with OS optimization.
Instructions
Step 1
In Windows 7, users were pleased with the built-in system performance test, which will help determine the "weak link" among the PC components. You can find this test in "Performance Tools and Counters" in Control Panel. Run a test that will show the score for each component on an 8-point scale. The glands that received less than three need to be replaced with faster analogs.
Step 2
Check the OS for viruses, as these pests can slow down the work, devouring gigabytes of RAM and traffic. For a one-time cleaning, a simple scanner like CureIt or Kaspersky Antivirus Scaner will do. Better, of course, will be resident protection, which will prevent infection while surfing the Internet.
Step 3
Clean up startup. This will free the RAM and the processor from executing processes that are not relevant at the moment. Don't forget to configure the services as well. Clean your browsers' temporary files, cookies and cache regularly and restart your PC every week.
Step 4
RAM can make life easier with pagefile.sys, properly configured, or a flash drive connected via ReadyBoost technology. Don't forget to configure the services as well. Unnecessary options such as "Remote Registry" or "Print Queue" can be disabled. The importance of services depends on how and with what your system manager works.
Step 5
Clean your hard drives from unnecessary data and regularly defragment them. If you follow these simple guidelines, your PC will be fast for more than the first week after installing Windows.
