1. Understand computers

1. View basic information about your computer and system 

Method 1: Open [Settings]-[System]-[About] to see the basic information about your computer and system.

Method 2: Use the shortcut keys [ Win (the icon that looks like a small window on the keyboard) + R ], enter [ dxdiag ] in the pop-up [Run] window and press Enter to see the basic information of your computer and system. .

2. Computer assessment

If you want to check the performance or score of your computer, you can download  Master Lu  and run the score. Through Master Lu, you can see clearly the hardware information of your computer, such as motherboard, processor, graphics card, etc. You can also perform driver detection and update the driver. and other functions. When installing, be careful not to install other ancillary software. You can uninstall it after basically running the score and testing.


2. Windows10/11 system optimization and settings

1. Display settings for desktop icons such as Control Panel and Recycle Bin

When you buy a new computer, usually the desktop will only display the browser and the Recycle Bin. Under the conditions of activation (the activation method can be found online), open [Settings or press Win+I]-[Personalization]-[Theme]-click [Icon Settings] in related settings. After opening, it is recommended to check Computer, Recycle Bin, Control Panel, and Network.

2. Taskbar management

Win10 may have a built-in search box. If you find it unsightly, you can hide it.

Right-click the taskbar, click Search, click to hide or show the search icon (it is recommended to select Show search icon)

You can also choose other displays

3.Desktop  icon arrangement

The arrangement of new computer icons may be disordered

If you want to arrange the icons neatly, you can right-click on the desktop, click View, and click Auto-arrange pictures

4. Uninstall the program

The merchant may pre-install software on your newly purchased computer. If you don't like the software or find it useless, you can safely uninstall it. It won't be a big problem. It’s okay to download it later.

Open the control panel or press [win+r], enter [control] in the pop-up window and press Enter, and click Uninstall the program

Then find the software you want to uninstall and right-click to uninstall it.

5. Turn off P2P sharing (delivery optimization)

What is Delivery Optimization: Delivery optimization allows you to download updates and software from other people’s computers. This function is very similar to Xunlei's seeding. After you download a movie, if other people want to download the same movie, they can download it p2p from your computer. Microsoft does this to save server pressure

Delivery Optimization works in two ways:

        1. Download updates and apps from other computers

        2. Send updates and apps to other computers

Why it is recommended to turn it off: If you are worried about the resulting network drag, you can choose to turn off delivery optimization. This function will occupy your usual network bandwidth and hard disk space. When your network bandwidth is low or the hard disk space is insufficient, the computer will experience obvious lags, so it is recommended to turn this function off directly.

Closing method:

Open the start menu and click [Settings] to open the win10 settings interface.

Click on Update and Security

 Click Delivery Optimization and then click Close

6. Set the computer to high performance

Tip : It doesn’t matter whether the desktop computer can be turned on or not , but it is not recommended to turn on the laptop unless you are 100% confident that the computer’s heat dissipation can withstand it. Otherwise, it will consume crazy power + the notebook will become a teppanyaki. If the temperature is too high, it may end up with a blue screen or freezing.

Open the control panel or press [win+r], enter [control] in the pop-up window and press Enter, click Type and select Large Icon

Click on "Power Options" 

 Click "Show additional plans" (some computers have the "High Performance" option in "Preferred Plans")

 Click on high performance

7. Delete temporary files in storage

Press [win+R], enter [%TEMP%] in the pop-up window and press Enter

Just select and delete all in the temporary folder that pops up (temp is the abbreviation of temporary, which means temporary files. Windows often places temporary files in the temp folder, so don't worry, you can delete them all)

8. Disk Cleanup

Press [win+R], enter [cleanmgr] in the pop-up window and press Enter

In the pop-up "Disk Cleanup: Drive Selection" window, select the C drive to clean (you can also select another drive letter), and then click OK.

Select the files that need to be cleaned

 Click "OK" and click "Delete Files" in the pop-up "Disk Cleanup" window.

9. Uninstall McAfee

Windows 10 laptops generally come with McAfee (anti-virus software), but McAfee is almost useless and takes up a lot of memory. You can choose to uninstall it. It is best to use the control panel to uninstall it, otherwise it may not be completely uninstalled. It depends on your personal situation. (I chose to uninstall)


3. Software recommendation

1. Security defense software: Tinder Security Software

1. Tinder security software

Tinder is a security software that integrates killing, prevention, management and control. It has products for individuals and enterprises. It has a simple interface, rich functions and a good experience. Especially in response to domestic security trends, we independently developed a high-performance virus scanning engine, built by former Rising core R&D members with eight years of network security experience.

 Tinder Security Software is a free security defense software (there is also a paid enterprise version). It is a domestically produced and conscientious security software. It is much better than 2345 Family Bucket, Computer Manager, 360 Family Bucket, etc. An advertisement will pop up from time to time. Open it The browser found that it is 2345, 360 navigation, and the homepage cannot be changed even if I want to change it. Tinder is pretty good

2. 360 Security Guard

Although many people on the Internet criticize 360, what cannot be denied is its anti-virus capabilities. 360's advertisements can be turned off, and 360's software assistants and plug-ins are very rich. For computer novices, 360 is definitely the best choice. The only choice, but for computer experts, programmers and other computer developers, it is still recommended to use Tinder. The 360 ​​official website is below.
360 official website - 360 Security Center - 360 security software - 360 smart hardware - 360 smart home - 360 enterprise services https://www.360.cn/

 3. Summary (personal opinion): Computer novices or those who only use computers to play games are recommended to use 360.

                                       Tinder is recommended by computer experts, programmers and other computer developers.

2. Compression software: 7-Zip

1、7-Zip

7-Zip is a 7-Zip is a completely free and open source compression software. It has a higher compression ratio than other software and does not consume a lot of resources compared to WinRAR. It also has a simple interface, rich functions and a good experience, and its memory usage is relatively small.

I personally recommend using this compression software. 7z is efficient enough, saves time, and the quality of the compression is very high.

Official website download link:

7-Ziphttps://www.7-zip.org/2、Bandizip

Bandizip is a free compression software (there is also a paid enterprise version) with a simple and beautiful interface. Bandizip can be comparable to 7-Zip, sometimes even better than 7-Zip. Bandizip's compression speed is faster than 7-zip. , saves time, but the compression quality is not as high as 7-Zip. Compared with 7-Zip, it takes up slightly more memory. Official website link download link:

Bandizip · Free zip, 7z, unzip, unrar Archiver · Fast and easyBandizip official download pagehttp://en.bandisoft.com/bandizip/

 3. Summary (personal opinion): If you want to save time and prefer compression speed, Bandizip is recommended.

                                       If you want a high compression rate or compression quality and a small memory footprint, 7-Zip is recommended.

3. Browser recommendation: Google Chrome

Google Chrome is a simple and efficient web browsing tool developed by Google. The browser is based on other open source software, including WebKit, with the goal of improving stability, speed and security, and creating a simple and efficient user interface. Google Chrome supports multi-tab browsing. Each tab page runs in an independent "sandbox". While improving security, the crash of one tab page will not cause other tab pages to be closed. In addition, Google Chrome is based on a more powerful JavaScript engine that current web browsers cannot achieve.

For details, please see: Google Chrome_Baidu Encyclopedia

The new version of Edge browser that comes with win10 is also good, but personally I think Google Chrome is better (maybe because I am used to it), it depends on my personal situation.

4. Downloader: IDM

1、IDM:

Internet Download Manager ("IDM" for short) is a tool that increases download speeds by up to 5 times and can resume and schedule downloads. Comprehensive error recovery and resume features will restart interrupted or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns or unexpected power outages. Internet Download Manager supports multimedia downloads, automatic link capture, automatic file name recognition, silent downloads, batch downloads, scheduled download tasks, site crawling, queues, etc. It is a well-established foreign download tool.

The interface is very simple. Compared with domestic downloaders, it does not have any advertising interface or speed limit. It has high performance, very fast opening speed, millisecond level, and multi-threaded download. Even if the website speed is limited, it can break through the limit and the download speed is increased by 5 times. Tools, but IDM is a paid software and the price is not expensive. You can go to the official website to buy the genuine version. The only drawback is that you cannot download magnet links and BT seed files, but combining some tools can overcome this problem, which will be more troublesome.

2. Thunder:

Personally, I think it is second only to IDM downloader. It supports almost all download methods including magnet links and BT seed files. The interface is simple and refreshing, the operation is simple, and the download speed is accelerated. However, there are ads. If the computer configuration and performance are not good, there will be ads at startup. There is obvious lag and the memory usage is relatively large. It is recommended for computer novices.

3. Summary (personal opinion): You can try them all. It varies from person to person. Use whichever one you think works best. Don’t blindly follow the trend. ​​​​​​​​

5. File search: Eveything

Everything is a file search tool developed by voidtools. The official website describes it as "Locate files and folders by name instantly". It is small in size, has a simple and easy-to-use interface, quickly indexes, searches quickly, takes up very low system resources, tracks file changes in real time, and can also share searches through http or ftp.

It is small and free, supports Chinese, has a clean and simple user interface, fast startup speed, real-time updates, and full functionality. All you need to do is open Everything and enter the file name you want to search for. The main reason is that the search speed is very fast, much faster than the search function that comes with win10.

6. Disk management: DiskGenius

DiskGenius is a hard drive partition and data recovery software. It was developed based on the original DOS version.

Such as: deleted file recovery, partition copy, partition backup, hard disk copy and other functions. In addition, support for VMWare, Virtual PC, and VirtualBox virtual hard disks has been added.

DiskGenius has three versions: free version, standard version and professional version. The free version is enough for daily use. It is a well-established domestic software that focuses on data recovery and disk management. It has a Chinese interface and is very powerful. It can be called the conscience of China.

9. Translation software: Kingsoft PowerWord

The mobile version of Kingsoft PowerWord is a classic, authoritative and free dictionary software that fully includes the Collins Advanced English-Chinese Dictionary; it integrates more than 5 million bilingual and authoritative example sentences and 141 professional copyright dictionaries; and it cooperates with CRI to create 320,000 pure real people Voice, simultaneously supports translation between Chinese and six languages: English, French, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and German. Adopting a younger and more fashionable UI design style, the interface is simple and fresh. While ensuring that the number of original entries remains unchanged, the installation package is compressed to 1/3 of the original size, and the running memory is also greatly reduced.

Personally, I think it is better than Youdao Dictionary because it has complete functions and a simple interface.
