Learn how to make Windows 10 go much faster in this tutorial. Here are the four ways ways to speed up Windows 10's performance:
0:00 Do a system reset
1:56 Make the cursor faster
3:28 Disable startup programs
4:36 Clear cache files
1. The best way out to make your computer faster is by doing a system reset. This will literally make your Windows 10 PC work as if it is brand new again. This option will wipe everything, but you can choose to keep your files.
2. The second thing you can do is making your mouse or cursor move faster. Doing this is really helpful, because it makes your computer feel faster even though you are not actually making it faster. If your cursor moved slow, you will appreciate the fact that it moves faster now.
3. Disabling startup programs boosts the startup speed of your PC. But, make sure the programs you disable from the startup are programs you don't need to start when your computer is starting up.
4. Deleting cache may somewhat optimize your computer's performance. But, it will definitely saves you a lot of space.
5. You may not want to hear this, but the truth is you may need to upgrade parts or buy another PC altogether. This especially the case if your computer is very old or you realized that it is still slow even after doing a system reset.
For the average user in 2021, at least 8 gigabytes of RAM and a solid state drive (SSD) for storage is ideal.
