    If you are a user of Windows 10, you will know there are loads of features that you might not need. So in this video, I will be showing you loads of unwanted features that most people will be able to disable. Example: Privacy Security, Cortana, Registry Tweaks, Group Policy, Services, and more.
    For Ultimate Performance Plan, copy and paste the following command and then hit Enter:
    powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

    This was nicely presented. I've not experienced any slow down myself - I just don't like corporations looking over my shoulder the whole time. I didn't do all the steps, just knowing I can safely turn off all those switches in the settings was enough to put my mind at ease. You know what us normies are like - we don't want to fiddle with things we don't understand - because if we change something and can't work out how to put it back, we can get into a right pickle. But this is a nice, simple, step-by-step guide so it gets a big ol' thumbs up from me.

    I’ve just updated my 10 year old HP laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10 after watching your video instruction on how to do so. It went remarkably smooth. So the next thing I did was follow along this video with my tablet in one hand and make the changes on my laptop following your advice. I did everything you suggested from the beginning of this video all the way up to where you were showing us how to change the performance options. You suggested that we tick the box to adjust for best performance. I did that exactly as you suggested and then I stopped the video right there because I did not feel comfortable going further and doing things in the registry. So I rebooted my old laptop. All I can say is WOW!!! It started up way quicker! 😃 Am I ever happy that I followed your advice! It used to take forever for my laptop to boot up and to shut down. But not anymore! The way it responds now you might think that I’ve installed a SSD in there! LOL!! So thank you kind sir you have made my day and help me breathe a little new life into my old laptop.

    I've just watched your video and I'm confused. I see what you've done and can possibly reproduce some of it (i'm on W10 Home) but am not sure WHY I should make some of the changes as the Computer I'm running on is not SuperWhizzey but runs fine. I don't want to turn something off that may cause me a problem months or years in the future and I've turned something off that I can't remember. Perhaps you should have a series of smaller videos that address certain aspects and explain the whys and wherefores in them. Sorry for being negative and I appreciate the recommendation of the O&O program so I guess I have picked up something from the Video. Tell you what I would appreciate is a way to uninstall all the crappy games that are on a small computer I have that only has 32 Gig of onboard storage and cannot update because of the lack of onboard room (the Disney one seems to take the most disc space!). Thanks for your time

      If you want to uninstall the games, you can right click on them in the start menu and in the menu that appears you can click on uninstall. If that doesn't work Windows key + S and search for control panel. Find programs and features, wait for it to load and find the games you want removed and uninstall them.
      Also, I have a 32gb PC and you need a USB flash drive or micro SD card to use as a cache for the downloads of the updates that'll install. Any recently made PC (2013, onward) will have a card reader slot on the 32gb systems. It's there because they know you'll need to expand storage.

However, I found it amusing that after showing us how to disable notifications and that you don’t need or want notifications from basically anyone, you ask us to subscribe to your channel so we can get notifications! I completely understand that subscribing to a RUclipsr is completely our decision to opt in and is totally different from things running by default in Windows that have to be disabled.But I still had a bit of a laugh.

Spend several hours or half day doing one or couple things, reboot, check how things are going. Do a couple more, rinse and repeat. That is all still now in my book, maybe not yours, but that again is your issue, perception and interpretation. The same with the take things slowly. Again that is up to you, maybe you don't have several hours to do this, so then take your time in however long you need, or it could simply mean do only one or couple things at time as in my example above by doing it all now ... just not all in one shot so that IF something messes up you do not know which of all those things you did was the cause.
