Windows 10: Windows 10 Performance Issues

After upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10 I am experiencing much lower battery life (even with battery saver). I am also having slow performance on startup and freezing/crashing from time to time. Is there anything I can do to fix this or should I try to go back to Windows 7? I have an older pc with an i7 processor.

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
