owh ssd very expensive:shock:....I am not going to upgrade my hardware..anyway thx
The problem today is the price of ssd's.
You're right: an SSD is not worth it since the processor and ram is not that powerful. (it will cost even more than all your current hardware)
For 1GB RAM is better to use XP. (yes I know XP is a bit old but even ubuntu 12 can easily fill the 1GB, I know that from seeing it in action).
Tweaks?
- You can disable some of the unnecessary services but I'm no specialist in this matter
- Disable some programs that start with Windows (today every program wants to run at startup) to get faster on the desktop: run msconfig.exe or try CCleaner
- The search indexer can make the HDD work overtime sometimes, but if you search often, leave it on
- use Basic Theme or maybe Aero without transparency + disable animations: to relax older graphic cards
Win8 has some new features like quickboot (it booted in 10 seconds on my 1GB pc) and Win7 misses this feature.
You can try and apply some other tweaks but there is no way Win7 to run faster than Win8 => They are mostly the same, without the new stuff in Win8.
So Windows 8 just boots faster but overall performance is the same as in Win7.
Hope this helps
