So, you have a slow craptop and you can't afford a new one.Well, this quick guide may help you to increase the performance your pc.
Note:these steps will not make your pc fly as a high-end machine but they will improve the overall performance of your laptop/pc , and basically this guide is just for toasters...(in the pcsx2 side this guide can boost it up to 10 frames, it doesn't sound like much but for toasters it makes a difference)
1-Disk Cleanup
when opening local disk C's properties you will find a utility called "disk cleanup", it'll basically clean out cashe and junk files from your pc, which helps in speeding it up a little, but make to check every box when it prompts you with the files you need to delete.
2-Deleting temporary files
press windows key+run to open a small window called "run", type %temp% and click browse to open the temp files folder, delete everything in this folder (be ware that some files you cannot delete and it's ok just skip them). This step also provides some speedup to your machine.
3-Boost the performance through the power settings
if you run the latest version of windows 10 you'd just find it when clicking on the battery icon in the taskbar, and boosting the performance by just moving the cursor. Otherwise just right click the battery icon and hit "power options", you will see to options, the balanced power plan and the best performance one, select the best performance option.This step really boosts your pc's performance!
4-Adjusting the appearance and performance of windows
this option is only for win8 and 10, just type "adjust" in the settings menu search bar and it will show to you, when you open this menu you will see a couple of options, just select "adjust for best performance". It'll basically disable visual effects for more raw performance...
5-(optional) CCleaner
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
Its a great utility that helps cleaning all the cashe and junk files from the system and the 3rd party programs, it also fixes registry issues, you can clean up your pc ever so often and it helps again in freshening up your pc with a little performance boost
6-(optional) Razer Cortex
https://www.razerzone.com/cortex
this is a program mad by the very well-known company called "Razer", when you install it will scan for the games installed on your pc and show them in its menu, and also you browse for custom programs on your choice...When you launch your desired program from it it activates a specific power plan called "razer cortex power plan", adjusting the pc for the best performance possible, and also clearing every background process possible to free up RAM memory space just for your program of choice, I'm using this program currently and it really helped me out on some cases.
Thanks for your time! And I hope this guide helps you out on your way
