At one time, the advent of the Windows Vista operating system was a significant event for history. Although many users on forums and analysts in their reviews spoke unflattering about the performance of this software solution, mentioning known problems with suboptimal memory consumption, unreasonably high processor load and others.
Nevertheless, it was already not boring over the years of Windows XP, but something fundamentally new. Quickly realizing the flaws, Microsoft released Windows 7, also known as the Seven. Outwardly, it was almost the same Vista, but the internal program logic was significantly improved. It makes no sense to list all the advantages of Win 7 over Win XP - there are a lot of materials on this topic on the Web. The important thing is that users switched to this system. And soon questions began to arise about how to speed up Windows 7. The main reason for the slowdown of the computer (compared to the previous system) is the increased load on the computing components. Nevertheless, through simple settings it is quite possible to increase productivity. So how to speed up Windows 7?
One of the innovations is the Aero graphical interface. Translucent windows and other beautiful effects create additional load on the video card, memory and processor. Disabling them is one of the effective ways to speed up Windows 7.
Click the right mouse button (RMB) on the "Computer" tab and open the "Properties". If it is not on the desktop, then open the Start button menu, find "Computer" and perform the indicated actions. After clicking, a window appears in which on the left there is a link “Additional parameters”, click it. Now you can see the "Options" button in the "Performance" section. There is nothing complicated in how to speed up Windows 7, because the developers have provided this feature.
There are 4 preset options in the window, the functions of which are intuitive. So, “Best View” involves all the graphical improvements to the interface, and “Best Performance”, on the contrary, brings the appearance of the system closer to Windows 2000. You just need to select the desired mode and click “Apply”. These changes are not reflected in general performance: all applications still work.
Sometimes users have a question about
how to speed up the loading of Windows 7. Not working with the system, but the time taken from the moment you turn it on until the desktop appears. There are several ways to resolve this issue. The most effective is the purchase of an SDD hard drive (solid-state memory) at least for the operating system itself, that is, about 50 GB in volume. Differences in download speeds "before and after" are noticeable even on systems with obsolete components. The only drawback is the need to invest in the purchase of a new device.
To some extent, you can speed up the loading of Windows 7 by performing defragmentation. We open “Computer”, by pressing RMB we call up the properties of the system disk, then “Service”. It is from here that you can start optimizing the placement of files. We draw attention to the fact that the process takes a long time.
There are several other ways to improve the performance of Win 7. However, it is impossible to achieve significant results without replacing some components.
