Microsoft official claims that the same hardware configuration, Windows 7 system boot faster than Vista 20%, and Microsoft has achieved a fast 15-second boot, so the official Windows 7 startup speed may be very fast. But users who have used beta, RC, RTM and other versions of Windows 7 know that it is impossible to be so fast! So what's the reason? Apart from the hardware aging and virus erosion two irresistible main factors, whether there is a set of reasons? What should we do to speed up the system?
First, the hardware configuration to meet the recommended level of requirements
To run Windows 7 smoothly, Microsoft's official recommended configuration is:
Processor CPU installed 64-bit 1G Hz and above, memory 2GB and above, hard disk 20GB and above, graphics support WDDM 1.0 or later, these are the hardware recommended configuration, if your hardware can not meet this level, then running Windows 7 naturally is very slow. To speed up the system, only upgrade your computer hardware first.
Ii. streamlining the system to reduce unnecessary procedures and start-up items
1, reduce the random start
Random Startup items, you can directly in the "Start Menu"-> "Run" in the input msconfig, in the pop-up window to switch to startup tags, disable those unwanted startup items on the line, generally we only run an input program and anti-virus software on the line.

Remind everyone that if you don't think you'll be able to use these fonts again, you won't have to back them up and uninstall them completely. In short, the more fonts you uninstall, the more free system resources you have, and the overall performance of the Windows 7 system increases.

For example, enter 200 that means 0.2 seconds, in short you can set according to the speed you want, confirm also need to restart the computer to be effective.

How to: Right click on the desktop to select the "Personalise" property and then select the "Window Color" label, and then do not tick "Enable transparency", click "Open Classic appearance Properties for more color options, then casually select a standard theme on it.
8. Hide Windows 7 service items
Some service items in the Windows 7 operating system consume too much memory, and if you do not use these services you waste the resources of the system. But I do not want people to disable these services, after all, some times you may need to use.
