    The title says it all. Note that I know the specs are kinda not good, but I really don't intend on doing anything other than basic programming (just a noob, will get a good system when I need one), browsing internet(standard HTML websites for college) and opening PDFs and spreadsheets. My PC is running fine otherwise, just started lagging after the latest W10 update (TBH, I had blocked Windows Update until it become necessary to update, and when I updated, system got a bit slow). I wanted to know if using ReadyBoost would help me in any ways, and if yes, what should I set the values of all attributes and properties like drive format etc?

    Is ReadyBoost Worth It?

    My suggestion: Take a boot-time without readyboost and the take a boot-time with readyboost (I believe you have to let it boot a few times before the cache in readyboost is build?)

    I have tried it myself and I did´nt find any improvement....
