There are many ways to make your laptop faster than Windows 10. One way is to clean up your disk space by deleting unneeded files and shrinking the size of your virtual memory paging file. You can also improve performance by disabling visual effects, such as the shadows that Windows displays under menus and the fading in and out of windows. But the best way to speed up your laptop is to increase the amount of RAM installed. If you have a lot of programs open at once or run multimedia-intensive applications, such as games or video editing software, you might need more than 8GB of RAM. Upgrading your RAM is a relatively inexpensive way to make your computer run faster. SSD drive will also hugely impact the performance of your laptop.
