Something I keep seeing asked and never getting a decent answer.

I am not convinced every upgrade is worth what people claim.

Even a rough steer in the right direction would be helpful at this point.

Happy to share more detail if it helps.

That was not my experience at all. For me it came down to whether I kept going back to it after the first week.

Good shout.
The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

Solid advice that. I have found that the biggest savings come from the boring stuff nobody wants to do.

Worth doing even if the saving is small.

There is a bit more to it than that I think. Event viewer is your friend on Windows, most people never look at it.

Worth trying before anything more drastic.

Pretty much where I landed after trying a few things. Start there and see if it makes a difference.

One or two sensible changes often make more difference than people expect.

I am always wary when something sounds amazing at first glance. Cheers for sharing that. :D
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Keep an eye on it, yes. The problem with most money saving advice is it assumes you have the time to do it all.

Worth a look if you have not already.

An SSD upgrade is still the single biggest performance gain on most older machines.

Been reading the same thing from a few different angles. The difference between what is being reported and what is actually happening is often significant.

I will update this thread if anything significant changes.
Question everything. Especially this.

There is something true in that that is hard to articulate. There is a lot more to say about this.
