How to Set up Windows 10 to Run Faster on Older Computers
If you have an older computer, you are probably facing the problem that your computer is no longer running as fast as it used to. There are many reasons why computers become slower over time, components get, programs become more demanding, accumulated programs slow down your computer, and viruses you picked up somewhere on the Internet can also play a role.
Today we will show you ways to speed up your computer. We have prepared three tutorials. In the first, we will show you four settings that will speed up your computer if you use Windows 10. In the second and third videos, we will show you how to use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall programs, as well as how with Revo Uninstaller you can stop automatic program startup together with Windows.
If you have an old and slow computer, we suggest you use all four settings from the first tutorial, as well as use Revo Uninstaller and stop unnecessary programs from running along with Windows.
As for deleting programs, when you delete the program in the usual way, certain files will remain on your computer. Over time, these files accumulate and slow down the computer. With Revo Uninstaller the program will be completely deleted and no files will remain, so this is the best way to delete the program on Windows. If you do not have Revo Uninstaller, you can download it for free at our download link at the bottom of the page.
