How can I make pc run faster on Windows 10?

For a system with 4GB of RAM in 2025, adding more RAM is the #1 hardware upgrade you can make.

• Check if you have a free RAM slot. Use Crucial's System Scanner tool on their website. It will tell you your exact RAM type and upgrade options.
• Upgrading from 4GB to 8GB (or even 12GB) is inexpensive (often < $30) and will make a night-and-day difference in multitasking (browser tabs + apps). This is the community's #1 recommended upgrade for your situation.

Step to steps for making PC run faster Windows 10

1. Scan for Malware:
Run a scan with Malware.bytes Free. It's light and excellent at catching "crapware" that traditional antivirus misses.

Crucially, avoid "system optimizers" when making PC run faster Windows 10. They often cause more problems than they solve on older systems and can be packed with ads/malware.

2. Do a Refresh

You can use the "Reset this PC" feature.

Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Get Started under "Reset this PC."

Choose "Keep my files". This reinstalls Windows but preserves your personal data. You MUST reinstall all your programs afterwards.

Community Experience: This is often the single most effective performance fix for an old, cluttered system. It's like a fresh start. Back up anything critical first.
