I want to install windows 8.1 on a 5400rpm harddrive on a system with only 4gb of ram.
The laptop in question, when using 5400, was extremely slow, programs would hang and crash, it was terrible.
I installed an SSD and all of those problems went away, so I'm assuming that it's tied to having a slow * harddrive.
Right now I can't afford an SSD, so I'm wondering what I can do within windows to make it more lightweight in general, and only retrieve stuff from the harddrive when absolutely required.
Is this possible?
