These are just small things you can do to speed it up a little.

 

1.  Clean up your hard drive files.

     Double click on Computer Icon on your desktop. Right click on the C: drive.  Select Disk Cleanup.  Select all the boxes.  Then select okay.

     This gets rid of a lot of junk you don't need.  Especially all the error files and temporary internet files.

 

2.  Speed up your graphics and imaging.

     Right click on Computer Icon on desktop.  Lower left corner select performance and tools

     Select Adjust visual effects

     Under Visual Effects select

     Select Custom  then select the following options.

Show thumbnails instead of icons.

Smooth Edges of screen fonts

Use visual Styles on windows and buttons

 

Restart system and you will see how much faster it is.

Then Defrag your drive.  I like using Defraggler.  It is free and works great.  https://www.ccleaner.com/defraggler

 

Now for security.  Make sure your AV scans for rootkits and make it get rid of PUPs.
