So this is going to be a really general question. Not sure if I should post here or Windows PC as its about my PC in general.

What is the best way to utilize my whole PC?:In terms of:

-what softwares that checks your PC should I download and use?
-Things I should do that everyone else does
-Best ways to speed up PC?
-Improve PC performance (e.g speed, graphics card, etc)
-Cleaning your PC
-Best settings for PC? People say turn a feature off that lets Microsoft use your privacy or something?
-Just making it better

Is there a complete general guide about improving your Computer and the features Windows has to offer, and make it really good?

Specs (if it helps):

-Windows 10
-GTX 760
-Intel Core i5-3470
-8GB RAM

Thank you! :)

I would start with a clean up.
Download Free CCleaner, run it to clean up waste of space, fix registry, then goto the tools and "disable" any "startup" programs that are not needed such as the loader for ITunes etc.
Download auslogics Free defragger and set it to clean and optimize then reboot unit.
Download Malwarebytes and run it to clean anything possibly lingering around
Download O&O Shut Up Windows 10, will take you through the process of "disabling the windows 10 listening devices and reporting programs"
update your anti virus run a FULL scan, not a quick scan
update windows completely.

those are basics

now things that can speed up your system;
Adding an SSD
Adding more Ram
depending on your motherboard specifications get a...

There was a humble bundle for this exact purpose.
That did a massive deal on IOBit software.
http://www.iobit.com/en/index.php (i am not guaranteeing improved performance, i have not tested and confirmed improvement

this is general software that says it can improve your computer performance.
It is fairly inexpensive. I think also after buying one pro product it gives massive discounts of the other.

Most of the rest is a massive book worth of material that you really need to self learn. or find someone that is willing to explain.

I would be happy to, speak to you about it. (Could be hours long conversation, that i cant guarantee you would find enjoyable or entertaining.
But there is too much to type.

P.S you could probably find general guides on google.
But i cant guarantee the content reliability.

Hey, ye might have to look up certain things.

But I thought if there was a set of videos or something to read (although prefer videos) that talk about making the best out of your PC by doing this, downloading that, using these settings, turn that off, it would help me a lot.

Thanks nonetheless

HI There,

I was quantifying how much stuff you can do that is recommended for pc's.
There are some myths and other things you can do.
There is a lot of stuff on YouTube for this sort of thing.
Plenty of videos on there.
