[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 819154, member: 51905"] I recommend you to try multiple versions of windows to see what is the best. W10 tends to run slowly on cheap laptops, you may not notice it if you don't use "better" versions I recommend to use windows 10 1809 or 1903 first -> backup -> clean install v1511 -> windows 8.1 v9300 -> windows 7 (all after tweaking) you will definitely see gradual improvement in speed W7 has the worst default driver support (from MS), W8.1 is similar to W10 but w10 is a bit better in driver support I prefer W8.1 v9300 the most because it has smartscreen and better security than w7 while speed is much better than w10 + fast startup feature. W7 has the best speed windows 10 from v1703 causes overheating of my nvidia GPU during normal usage, worse during gaming despite all attempts to improve the condition. Easily noticed by touching the laptop where the GPU is located extremely long discussion in geforce forum -> solution: use v1511 or 1603 [URL unfurl="true"]https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1004600/geforce-drivers/all-games-stuttering-with-fps-drops-since-windows-10-creators-update/1/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
