1. Disable Startup Programs
Won't 'boost' your performant over-all. The start time, however, is significantly lower
5. Restart Your PC Regularly
And if you not in the mood to restart - Microsoft announced a new tool: RAMMap which clears also your used RAM :)
7. RAM
Recommendation:
- Minimum: 8GB
- Ideal: 16GB+
HOLY! Na, sorry.. 8GB was standard 12y ago.
- Minimum: 16GB+ (I recommend: 32GB!)
- Ideal: 64GB
8. Switch to SSD (If You Haven’t)
If you want a significant 'Boost-Up-Performance' - Better would be a NVME - With a simple reason: SSD-SPEED has a huge discrepancy in terms of speed (Yes – there are some very fast ones – but just as many ultra-slow ones!)
The rest – It’s all right :)
