Give your Windows PC an immediate performance boost
Did you know there’s an easy way to give your Windows machine an immediate performance boost?
All you have to do is switch its power plan to High performance (assuming it isn’t already set to High performance of course).
Just be aware that switching your PC to High performance will cause it to consume more power, and that will result in your laptop’s battery being depleted faster if it’s running on battery power.
However, if your laptop is running on AC power or your PC is a desktop machine the extra power consumption won’t really matter unless you prefer to conserve energy whenever possible.
Want to give it a try? Just follow the steps below:
1 – Press the Windows key and then start typing the words control panel.
2 – Select Control Panel from the list of search results.
3 – Click Hardware and Sound.
4 – Click Power Options.
If your PC is typical you should now see that its power plan setting is set to either “Balanced (recommended)” or “Power saver” with another option labeled “High performance” that’s available for you to switch to.
5 – Select the High performance option to give your PC an immediate performance boost.
Note: If you don’t see the “High performance” option listed try clicking on Show additional plans.
