10 Simple Ways To Speed Up Windows 7

Disable Windows Aero

I’ve tried to avoid listing tweaks that make Windows 7 look ‘worse’, but Windows 7 Aero Theme can really task PCs, so disabling is advisable if you need that extra speed:

• Right-click on your desktop and select ‘Personalise‘ and click the ‘Window Color‘ tab
• Uncheck the ‘Enable Transparency’ box
• Click on ‘Open classic appearance properties for more color options’
• Choose a Standard or Basic theme from the popup that appears

Disable Services

Some windows 7 services take up a lot of unnecessary ram, which is particularly bad if you don’t use them.  Black Viper maintains a very good list of services that can be stopped.  Rather than disabling services, I recommend that you set services you don’t think you need to ‘manual’ just in case you make a mistkae.

To Start or Disable services:

1. Go to Control Panel.   Click on ‘Administrative Tools‘ and then click on ‘Services’
2. Right click on each individual service you want to tweak below.
3. I recommend following the ‘Safe’ column:
