New Year gift: Boost your PC without upgrading hardware (Part 2)

In the post Boost your PC without upgrading hardware (Part 1), you’ve learned how to improve CPU responsibility and optimize RAM usage. In Part 2 of the series, I will show the ways to boost your PC by optimizing Windows Operating System.

As you know, system performance does not simply rely on powerful, high-end hardware; it also requires a stable and safety software environment – Operating System. That includes system maintenance and optimizations for specific purposes.

  • Daily Maintenance Tasks

Performing daily maintenance is important to ensure proper system functionalities. There are lots of history records, temporary files, as well as unused Windows Registry items. They are junk information that more or less impacting system performance. But, you may find Windows Built-in tool is like a joke :)

Fortunately, much award-winning software can help us.

1.    CCleaner

The Pro Version also provides an always-on, automated, all-in-one PC Healthcare Service with anti-spyware, privacy protection, performance tune-ups, and system cleaning capabilities.

  • Optimizations for Specific Purposes

If you want to watch DVD Movie or play PC games in an old computer, it is necessary to release some system resources at the time. The actions including increase Process Priority, disable some system services temporarily.

It is also troublesome to set them manually. So, it’s a good idea to deploy the suitable software that work for you.

1.    Gaming Mode in Process Lasso

Do you still remember Process Lasso that introduced in Part 1 of the series? You’re right, that’s it. Process Lasso can not only reduce Process Priority of resource consumption programs, but also give more resources to CPU demanding programs like Full-Screen applications and games. You can enable the feature in Main -> Gaming Mode Enabled.

2.    Game Booster

  • What’s More

Disk fragmentation is also a main cause of slow and unstable computer performance. You should defrag the partitions regularly. Here I recommend the freeware IOBit Smart Defrag and the more powerful shareware O&O Defrag, you can choose them as you need.

At last, this series of articles is finished, hope you can like them and enjoy your higher performance old PC. For more interesting and exciting applications, you can look forward to my future posts.
