Best free optimizer for Win 8.1?

I have a whole package of tweaks to make Windows 7 start and run faster.
Most of those are leftovers from XP.
They also work equally well for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Amazing!!!
I just verified several of my W7 tweaks on 8.1 today. It works!

But when I look in the registry of all three OS's, I find the same entries.
It's like they are all the same OS, but with different GUI's.

I know it's really not quite that simple, but it sure looks like it.
Is MS just pulling a fast one on us, making us think we're getting a new OS,
when all we're really getting is a new paint job?



:cool:

Then you really didn't understand my answer.
I'm sorry that I wasn't more direct.

Best answer:
I'm the best Optimizer for every OS from 95 to 8.1. Eh?
Why? Well, because I've been doing it for 30+ years, tweaking and tuning MS OS's for best performance,
in a professional environment.

You don't need special optimization for 8.1 because what worked to optimize XP, Vista, Win-7 and Win-8 also works for Win-8.1.
And NO one program is ever going to do that. It ain't a gonna happen!
Just like NO one piece of AV software is ever going to 100% protect you from every bad thing out there.

Good Luck!

No offense but I kind of disagree. Before, I used Auslogics Boostspeed. It was very good and never did any harm.

Hi there.

W8.1 with the OS and applications installed on an SSD is THE BEST OPTIMISER you can get - you don't need any of the other stuff -- that's LAST CENTURY'S solutions --Yesterdays Technology Tomorrow.
