Windows 10: I need to streamline Windows 10 as much as possible

I am forced to run Windows 10 for Uni thus I am running it in a VM, unfortunately it runs very slow, I would like to disable everything that is not crucial to the operating system running. this is features like Cortana, Windows Store and unnecessary services like Windows Defender. I need the bare minimum running to get the best performance out of this. How would I accomplish this? I am happy to use powershell and CMD with long commands (my main OS is GNU/Linux so I am use to and would prefer commands)?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
