SUMMARYUsing the "System" applet of the
Windows “Control Panel” and
using services.msc which is a
“Microsoft Management
Console” Snap-in, you can
dramatically increase the speed
of any "Windows 8" or
"Windows 8.1" computer.
4
BASIC STRATEGY
• No direct editing of the “registry”
• Make reversible changes to the
"Windows.." operating system
• Make “image backups” and
“restore points”, prior to making
changes
• Take advantage of the
compounding effects of multiple
speedup tweaks
5
PROCEDURE & TOPICS
• Step 1: Make an image backup
of your "Windows" hard drive
• Step 2: Create a “restore point”
with Windows' "System Restore"
• Step 3: Set “Visual Effects” for
“..best performance”
• Step 4: Supersize the swap file
6
PROCEDURE & TOPICS (continued)
• Step 5: Run “Revo Uninstaller
Freeware”
• Step 6: Use "services.msc" to
disable some services
• Step 7: Perform “Error-checking”
on all hard drives.
• Step 9: Defragment all hard drives
• Step 10: Turn off startup programs
7
DETAILS OF STEP 1:
Drive Image Backup
• Use "Redo Backup", "Macrium
Reflect Free Edition", "Clonezilla",
"Acronis True Image..", or "Windows
7 File Recovery" AND an external
hard drive to create a "backup
image" of the entire C: drive of your
"Windows 8" or "Windows 8.1"
computer.
8
DETAILS OF STEP 1:
Drive Image Backup (continued)
• Our instructions for using the
free and open source “Clonezilla”
to make an image backup of a
hard drive can be found at
http://aztcs.org/meeting_notes/wi
nhardsig/CZ-backup.pdf
9
DETAILS OF STEP 1:
Drive Image Backup (continued)
• If your "Windows 8" or "Windows
8.1" computer has "Secure
Boot" in a UEFI (instead of a
legacy BIOS), only the
"Alternate" Ubuntu-based
AMD64 "LiveCD" of "Clonezilla"
will be able to boot up and
backup with "Clonezilla..".

DETAILS OF STEP 2:
Create a “Restore Point”
• Use Windows' “System Restore” to
create a “restore point”
