Un-check most of the start up items & non Microsoft services running.These are not necessary and can slow the computer to a crawl. The only start up program normally needed is antivirus ..one only of course.To access type msconfig into the default search dialog box

The only non Windows services normally required are pertaining to itunes & occasionally some printers{experiment required} Check/tick the MS services box to hide these ..best to leave them run.

Disable or reschedule daily auto scans and daily defrags ..not necessary and they slow the computer down a lot.Once a week is enough.

Look at what scheduled programs are running ..most can be disabled as they slow the computer down.{Google if unsure how to disable}

Browsers with multiple tool bars running ..disable them.Disable multiple search engines ..use only Google.

Advise customer that auto updates can slow the computer ..I use ‘advise updates available but do not download or install’ setting.I download updates at quiet times when computer is not being used. Same for defrag & virus scans.

Disable remote assistance …can be enable only when required .
