Speeding Up The Windows 7 Operating System

Windows 7 operating system is fast becoming the most popular operating system as Windows 8 continues to become even more ghastly after every update. Microsoft 7 is both stable and features a faster booting cycle than most previous versions of Windows. A system with a faster boot cycle itself gives an illusion of running a faster system! Even after 6 years of its launch and release of a successor, users continue to make a beeline for the Windows 7 operating system!

To know how to speed up your Windows 7 operating system, you can either contact our Windows tech support team or read and follow the instructions written below.

Instructions
  • By default, Windows 7 only uses a single core to boot up. If you have a multi-core processor system, you can significantly increase the boot speed just by altering this setting. The process to change this setting is very easy as well. You just have to click on the Start menu, which normally lies at the bottom left corner of the screen, and then click on Run. When the Run command prompt window is displayed, type in msconfig into the box and press Enter. Inside the newly displayed window, press the Boot tab and then click on Advanced Options. Among the list of advanced options, you will have to locate the Number of processors, click on it to enable it and specify the no. of cores needed to do the task. Next, click OK and then apply to save this setting.
  • Remove every unwanted feature you would not be using because they merely take up a lot of space and never contribute in anyway. For better performance, it is better to remove unwanted fonts from your computer. Many TrueType fonts are built-in to your operating system, fonts that you will never be using in your life. In such scenarios, it is better to trim down these fonts. To do so, open the Control Panel from the Start menu and then click to open the Fonts folder. Move away the fonts that you don’t need to a temporary directory.
  •  If you rarely every use the Search feature in your Windows 7 system, it is better to turn off the  Search Indexing feature. Go o Start menu and type in services.msc. Find Windows Search and right click to choose Disable in the Startup type field.
  • Reduce the number of unwanted Startup programs. Many applications like Java, Acrobat, QuickTime and iTunes are preset that execute right on startup. To do so, enter the Msconfig window again and then click on the Startup tab. You will see a list of applications from which you can deselect the unnecessary.
Hopefully, you will notice a remarkable improvement in the system speed by following these tips promptly. If you have any queries, feel free to contact our Windows tech support team.
