This a temp thing as im working from home... got an old emachines e525 with 3gb ram and windows 10 installed at the moment. it runs not bad but would love to continue to strip away at it to make it fly a bit more.

So far all bloat and telemetry is gone, disabled all the fancy appearance features....still got windows defender running wonder if removing it and replacing with a low resource AV might make a big difference ?

Any tips would be great ive got till monday to make this thing run as smooth as possible.

Thanks
 
Solution
buy an ssd

I am not sure which AV would be the best for your case.
Is that 32bit or 64bit windows? as the ram amount makes me think its 32bit.
