Here's some more tips:
1. Get a SSD, they read and write data quicker
2. Upgrade your RAM
3. Upgrade/Get a graphics card
4. Upgrade the CPU
5. Clean your RAM. Press Windows and R to open up the run prompt. Then type temp and delete everything there. Do the same but type %temp% into the run prompt instead.

Yeah, try doing this on your 12 year old computer that has an old spinning hard drive and only 2 gigabytes of ram

Real fast I'll sum it up for you.
Buy and install the following
-Ram
-SSD
Find ram that is compatible and use an ssd that is also compatible.
Do your own research you will save money.
These uninstall things are usually extremely small and dont effect performance.
Also DONT USE ANTI VIRUSES they are usually useless and if you have a windows 10 pc (has a light blue background ). As you can use window's built in antivirus (just make sure it is turned on). You can use it by typing in windows defender in the search box in the bottom left hand corner and clicking enter.

I honestly expected this to happen, but of course, they don't explain how SSDs work a lot better and faster than a hard drive, so adding one or replacing the hard drive with one will actually make your pc a lot faster or what most people call snappier.

HELP I INSTALLED FREE RAM NOW ITS SLOW OH MY GOD HELP

[llamasrose]

getting rid of old programs will only free up hdd space but will not make your pc faster.
EDIT: [Unless they are running in the background in which case just open the task manager]

Imagine recommending adding a hard drive in 2020 lul

[jacobkamp]

Everyone wants to clown this but its actually not terrible advice. Most of these things would legitimately be recommended to someone seeing a decrease in performance. Notable other options would be: Removing antivirus bloatware, clearing temp files, changing your power settings, etc. but as a basic 5 minute video, they hit the beginner steps perfectly I think.

My computer used to be very slow. I don’t know why but most of the System Hosts were using up a ton of ram. I was thinking of upgrading from 8 gigs to 16 but I later discovered a Anti-Virus software was the reason why the system hosts were taking up ram. I uninstall the thing and now my computer is about 70% faster. Moral of the story is don’t trust Anti-Software.
