Improve performance on netbook
I have Windows 10 insider 14385 64-bit on a 6 year old netbook with Atom N455 and want to know if there is more room for improving performance.
Currently it performs quite good, battery is good too, even faster than Win 7 in some circumstances, but there is some lag opening start menu and taskbar panels and using the start menu.
Swimming through tutorials I've done this
Software wise:
I have disabled all animations
I have uninstalled all unused apps
I have removed almost all start menu tiles
I have disabled all unnecessary services
I have cleaned all junk with CCleaner.
All drivers updated (even when they are old)
I want to disable Cortana but I don't know how, seems to be changed from 1511 and all tutorials are now useless here.
I would want to disable desktop compositing but I know is not possible. It sometimes eats up CPU.
Hardware wise
Upgraded to 2GB RAM
Replaced HDD with an SSD. This is far the best thing I've done.
Is there something more that I've overlooked?
Thank you
