Speed Up Windows 7 Guide
Thursday, August 27th, 2009So, one of the most asked questions I hear is: How do I speed up Windows 7?
Most guides will tell you to turn off all the aero features and use no background wallpaper. That’s not useful, that’s more like a trade-off, because who wouldn’t want a nice desktop? And AeroSnap is really useful! I agree that you can get some more performance by doing this, but it’s not worth it. If you think you don’t need a “fancy” desktop, then feel free to do it anyway:
1. Hit Start
2. Enter “SystemPropertiesPerformance” into the search field, hit enter
3. Select “Adjust for best Performance” or at least uncheck the first two entries
How would *you* speed up Windows 7 then?
First, let’s think about it .. what is really consuming a lot of CPU and memory? Right! All the services that are running in the background all the time.
