Improve Windows 10 performance
If you have a computer with Windows 10 and you notice it slow, in this post we are going to discuss some improvements that we can make to our PC to improve the performance of Windows 10
If your PC is already a few years old, you will surely have a normal SATA type hard drive.
You can greatly improve the performance of your PC if you add a solid state drive (SSD) and install the operating system on this drive.
SSD drives have dropped significantly in price and considerably increased their capacity.
On Amazon you can find some offers that may interest you…
This type, for example, has a capacity of 480GB with a read access speed of 500 GB/s
Changing your traditional hard drive for an SSD is one of the best options to improve the performance of your Windows 10
If you normally open several documents at once or run heavy programs, I recommend that you increase the system’s RAM.
Keep in mind that the Windows 10 operating system, to be more or less light, already needs 5 GB of memory. If you run several applications at the same time, it is advisable to have enough additional memory so that the PC’s performance does not plummet.
Memory has dropped a lot in price and having about 8 to 16 GB of memory will greatly improve the performance of your PC.
To add memory modules you have to pay close attention to the speed and brand. To avoid problems, all modules must be the same (brand, speed and manufacturer)
If your network card is 10/100 MB, add a 1 Gb network card to your PC. Access to PCs on the network or to a server will be increased by 10.
If you connect to a server or the Internet to download a lot of data, by installing a 1 Gb card you will notice a fairly considerable increase in speed.
If you access via Wifi and your router allows it, try to get an 802.11ac Wifi connection, you will see a significant increase in connection speed.
If your PC is extremely slow and is already a few years old, try updating the operating system or reinstalling it again.
Normally when you install the operating system, the PC has good performance, but over the years because you install new applications, delete those you no longer use, add and delete files, etc. The PC’s performance drops significantly. considerable.
When you reinstall the operating system you leave it as you had it when you bought it.
The downside is that you will have to reinstall the applications you use most frequently, but in my opinion it is worth spending that time and making your Windows 10 run much faster.
Sometimes it is easier and faster to reinstall everything (system and applications) than to try to solve problems that arise.
Always have your system updated with the latest versions and patches.
Update your device drivers to obtain better overall system performance.
Updating the operating system is always a controversial topic because sometimes there are problems with updates and they tend to be urged at the most inopportune time.
You can schedule a time or day that suits you best to update the system and that does not interrupt your daily tasks.
