System Explorer seems to me to be more detailed and faster to change monitor lists as per default setup 

 

Only use my computer for home office type tasks ie browsing / security - i will keep my primary computer as still boots up ready to browse in 30 odd seconds , although thinking about using my laptop which has 8GB installed memory and licenced for Windows 10 ( just no onboard display so use as a static desktop with external display - maybe hang both on the wall )

The other option is to transfer older files and photos that you don't really access to an external HD.

If you use the HD as a back up you can then get "rid" off most non essential "items" to free up space maybe?

Most PC's come with files,Apps,etc that a lot of people will never use.

The same as the stupid Sync associated with Onedrive that hijacks files and photos and you have to turn it

off to stop it.

About 8 years ago a friends PC was taking 4 minutes plus to load and after the removal of old Emails,

redundant files,etc and then a defrag speed went down to 20 seconds for start up.

It took over 4 hours to get it to start running smoother.

He had 95% usage which went down to 65% usage just by removing clutter.

Solved the mystery , one of the 2GB modules has failed , so only using 2GB instead of 4GB 

 

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode in computer user ineptness

all good , 45% memory usage 1 browser open , , sloppy seating of the second module - oh well computer gets a 4GB upgrade anyhow.  30.7 Windows Experience Index ( Windows 7 ) not the fastest I have used but good enough for my usage
