A) Theme
From Windows 7 onwards, the interface is beautifully optimized, many shadow effects, transparencies, . Those themes will consume a lot of resources of the machine, including the GPU and CPU. Therefore, if your computer configuration is not really strong, I recommend using the Windows Classic Theme - Sacrificing a beautiful, glitter interface in exchange for performance and resources for computers running other programs.
B) Performance settings
There are many effects - Visual Effects beautify Windows, and of course they consume a lot of machine resources. With the criteria of achieving the best computer speed, I recommend you sacrifice your beautiful face and glitter!
On Windows 7 , click the Start button => Right-click Computer and select Properties . Next select Advanced system settings => Select Settings. The Performance settings interface will appear.
On Windows 8 and later, Move the mouse to the right corner of the screen. Select Search and find ' Performance '. In the Setting section you will see
The Performance Options settings will be the same on both Windows 7 and 8, 8.1, etc. To optimize the best speed for the computer you set as follows.
After setup is complete, click Apply => OK .
C) User Account Control
The computer will check and display a dialog box asking you to confirm when installing the software, setting the settings. This is for security purposes, but the notification dialogs do Delay, increasing operation time as well as slowing down the machine. My advice is that you should reset the User Account Control to the lowest level, no more notifications.
On Windows 7: Click the Start button => Search for ' UAC ' and then select Open User Account Control
On Win 8 or later: In the Search box => Find UAC
D) Install Power Plan
The computer's operating settings are based on power - or using this PIN by default reduces the computer's performance. Due to the purpose of saving battery power, when the Power Save mode, the performance of CPU, Video Card, . will automatically decrease. Then if you still want to use the highest speed of the machine you choose again for Balanced mode or High Performance .
E) Disable Thumbnail display
To turn off this mode, both on Windows 7, 8, . find the Search box (At the Start button or the Charmbar) then type search and open the folder and search. Select to go to Tab View => Uncheck Display file icon on thumbnails. Then click Apply => OK.
There are many services that can be turned off without affecting the system. It is important to know what you can turn off, and what is not allowed to turn off. Here is a list of what can be disabled:
Some Services you may use less often but still need. You can consider before disabling them. But do not worry, if you need to use it can completely bounce back.
To access the Services section, type in the Search section at the Start Win 7 button or the Search box in Chambar of Win 8, 8.1 the following phrase: 'services'. Open the interface as follows:
To install, pause, stop, re-enable, . a Service, select it and right-click => Select Properties. Here you can choose Stop, Pause, . as well as that Service option to start with the computer or not.

Software, programs that start with the computer sometimes are not really needed. You can turn on your computer and open those programs only when you need them. This will reduce the time to start the computer, limiting crashes when starting to turn on the machine with low configuration.

Computer cleaning software
One tool I highly appreciate about cleaning up your computer, as well as features that help improve your computer speed is CCleaner .
Disk Defragmenters - Defragments the hard drive
This is also a good job to increase the speed by improving data access of the hard drive. You can use the default Windows tool, Disk Defragmenters. Or can use other software is also very good: Defraggler
Windows default drive cleaner: Disk Cleanup. If you use CCleaner , you don't need this tool anymore.
Hopefully the ways to speed up this computer will be useful to you. You don't have to apply it all the way, and apply exactly the same as what you stated. Please customize it to the best, and simplest with you.
Also restarting the computer when feeling slow and frozen can be a temporary but effective solution to make the machine run better.
