Windows 10: windows 10 lightweght???

I've been seeing some pages on the net about light-weight versions of windows, and recently moved my old win7 computer to lubuntu, a lightweight version of linux ubuntu, and I really am happy about the boost in performance.


I have a windows 10 computer that is pretty slow, it's not a high-class machine and is already out of date. but I'm not ready to go with something like lubuntu on it, although it definately needs to be running smaller software.


Some people talk about running pretty custom builds of windows, but is there an easy-alternate that lets me do my simple things in my bedroom and still boots at a reasonable pace?? I feel like I wait around all day. I don't want to buy a different os, I want to slim down my stock install so that the low-performance processor and limited memory aren't a limitation.

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
