How to Speed up Windows 10 [Effective Methods]

So yesterday I took a break from loathing all things tRUMP and searched for ways to speed up my WIN 10.
I did a quick search** and chose one website* and followed the directions. I'm very pleased to be able to
say that I've seen immediate positive results! And these days we can all use whatever makes us very
pleased!

So I stick in a 2gb sd card and turn on speed boost.
Helps the paging activity.

That isn't a good idea. You'll miss anti-virus and other security updates. Having it running shouldn't impact your normal performance.
