What are the programs for optimizing computer performance?

Question

Iron

There is a laptop, Windows 10, new. But a weak processor.
What programs can be used to increase its speed? They cleaned it with their hands, removing everything unnecessary. But still a bunch of some incomprehensible background processes.
Ready to consider even some paid programs. The main thing is that they optimize its work without harm to the system.

Answer 1

There are no magic miracle programs with a "do well" button.

Answer 2

The operating system itself knows what to do.
To make the system work faster, you need to be able to configure the system, and not look for a magic program.
If the laptop is weak, it will not become strong because of some program.
If you want paid - contact the service, let them set up a laptop for you.

Answer 3

As an option Disable background applications!

Answer 4

From best to worst:
Option 1: Install Linux - it's not as scary as it looks. In my experience after Windows, you will fall in love with the latest versions of Elementary OS. Minimum settings - maximum convenience and beauty. Plus the hardware won't pray for death - with Linux any hardware flies like a butterfly, you'll be surprised how quiet your cooler can be.
Minus - some software / games do not go under Linux. But if your laptop is weak, they will not work with you anyway, so the problem is not particularly relevant in your case.
Option 2: Choosing the right version of Windows. Having installed Windows Ultimate, the chances of setting it up without consequences for a weak PC are extremely small. My advice is Windows 10 LTSB. Cortana, Store applications and a bunch of other voracious "buns" are cut out of it. The increase in productivity is felt very well, somewhere in + 25%.
Option 3: A small manual tweak + partially CCleaner (for removing software / cleaning temporary folders, no more. It has the bad property of ruining a PC if used carelessly).
Increase the paging file (look in Google), turn off the visual goodies of the system (again, Google will help) and select all processor cores in msconfig -> Boot (it will speed up the system startup, slightly).
Plus, remove unnecessary software from autorun (in the task manager). Disable background apps as suggested above.
AND NEVER INSTALL "COMPUTER ACCELERATORS / VIDEO CARDS / PROCESSOR OCCELERATORS"! They, if they don’t ruin your PC / burn the video card / processor to hell (65% of cases), then they hang those very left processes in the system (the remaining 35%), and then sit there guessing, either stealing passwords, or mining cryptocurrency, whether advertising porn resources on the whole screen shoves.
