Some good tips, thanks. My system is running great because I do a most of the things you listed here. Just scored 5313 on Cinebench R20. No thermal paste on my machine. I use Innovation Cooling Graphite Thermal Pads instead.
Great tips. And you mentioned also background programs. I encountered multiple times that Backblaze set to continuously backup brings older PC's on its knees.
Thank you for all of this in one spot. I'm going to run some of this on my quad core win 7 pro pc before I say goodbye. With no clean dvd installs since late 2017 because it runs "fine" I still wonder what's on there sometimes.
I am in the process of updating my tools to cleanup some old computers to giveaway to locals who can't afford a new computer. So time ago you released an ISO file that one could use to boot a computer which had all the tools needed to fix an old slow computer. Have you updated it and if so where can it be found. Thanks for your time. Tom Stiles
Brian, I have a 6 year old desk top Dell PC that still works fine for my needs. I still run Windows 8.1 on it. It had a 1 tb hard drive on it that I had just about filled up, so I got a WD blue 2tb ssd for it. I formatted it and cloned the old drive on to it. Problem is it only see it as a 1tb drive. How do I get it to see the full drive? Thanks.
Hi Brian, just watched your video again from Mar.24/19 on Windows 10 upgrade vs Windows 7 and i was floored by the reaction of some people. If you want to punish yourself again it would be interesting to see the reaction to it now. If not i certainly understand. Also, your opinion on the severity of the Intel exploits since it's been almost a 2 years since Spectre and Meltdown were found. I always seem to find myself in heated discussions on the subject since no Intel security problems have ever been reported other than by researchers, exploited in the wild. I know that you prefer AMD these days but i think you are one of the very few that still have an open mind.
Thank you!,as always great informative video.A big help for my sluggish pc. My question is,i see on my settings app that im able to update windows version.Would updating Windows 10 1809 to 1909 will speed up my sluggish pc?
yes, 1903 (not sure about 1909) is much smoother than 1809. However, it's not even close to 1511, 1607 or Windows 8.1 9300 (fastest) if you have less than 6GB of RAM, it's not good enough to run Windows 10 smoothly although some people claim it's smooth on their 2-4GB RAM computers. Each person has different perception and tolerability in terms of speed
I have a HP G60 535-DX Laptop from 2010 and it has a 10/100 network card in it and I’ll never be able to hit 200mb/sec which is my Internet providers speed. My new iPad and my Wive’s iPad and work laptop can hit well over 200 mb/sec.
Yrs ago on XP, I always heard or read that using 2 AntiVirus programs is a real bad idea. So I thought I would try it and see what happens. LOL, did I ever find out. My cursor started moving all over as I had lost control of it and my screen started doing weird things then turning into what could be considered a kaleidoscope effect. I did a hard shut down to no avail and had to reinstall XP. Tell ya, it was kinda fun and worth it at the time, although I have never done this again. 🐵

You should warn about that ESET so called online scanner first I had to download and install it then it does NOT quarantine anything it DELETES (guess that part is my fault ,why should I have photos in a folder on my external drive , should have un hooked it before scanning ) lost em ,gone ,vanished, vaporized ,deleted again my fault ,think I will stick to tried and true from now on Although the speed test was useful says my internet speed is faster than other speed test . WOW (doing a slow sarcastic clap for ESET online scanner ) they got me
ESET Online scanner will not delete photos or personal data. Not sure what happened to your photos, maybe you drag it somewhere on your PC. Anti-virus scanners don't delete personal data and never have.
@@Britec09 No I did not move the folder it was in a folder named Zzzt on my back up drive haven`t done anything with them for a month , after the scan it showed two pup s and my folder , I opened my drive and the folder is gone ( didn`t remember the name of pup s ) but I still have the original photos on my tablet so they can be replaced don`t know why it happened as that was the only thing in that folder

How to remotely fix PCs on a network
Would love some video card troubleshooting, having slow graphics/lag with 3d software
Oh also power supply troubleshooting, mine seems to make a slight hum sound from time to time

Nice, I got a video coming up with the Innovation Cooling Graphite Thermal Pad
@@Britec09 Cool, I'll be watching. I love the thermal pads. No mess, reusable, and they don't crystallize over time like some thermal paste does.
@@Britec09 I check my system almost everyday for Virus' or Malware and they normally find nothing wrong
Great tips. And you mentioned also background programs. I encountered multiple times that Backblaze set to continuously backup brings older PC's on its knees.
Yeah its pretty common for background apps to use all resources
As I tried to find a: "How to fix a slow PC." I literally came to this vid. Thx for the tutorial.

right click start button and choose disk management, you should see your 1TB of unallocated space there, just add it to your drive.
