[SOLVED] performance boost

[nwf03]

Hello Everyone.

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5566 laptop with 7th gen intel core i3 7100U cpu and 1tb hdd. I would like to improve the performance of my laptop without upgrading its parts. Are there any tips to improve the performance of my laptop for gaming? I have watched some youtube videos that helped improve the performance but im looking for more tips.

Is there no dGPU?
Then it's gonna suck for gaming regardles. Best tip: play lightweight games.

You are not going to find anything really, as Dell has squeezed pretty much all the performance out of your laptop already; the performance improvements from software tweaks are usually imagined and can corruot your operating system. The best performance boost would be to replace the hard drive with a solid state drive. https://www.parts-people.com/blog/2...51f006-hard-drive-caddy-removal-installation/ spend a little over $100 (or less if you don't need a TB of storage) and you will see a very noticeable performance increase.

Not sure if that machine is wired for dual channel ram, but having 2 sticks of ram running in dual channel mode is the best chance for an IGP.

CPUz can give you the info about the stick(s) of ram currently installed.
