laptop - How to remove unneeded features and extras on Windows 7?



My laptop came with preinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I can't change the OS on laptop, but Windows 7 Ultimate is much of an overhead for the computer and my intended use as well. Is there a way to remove any features, to make the installed OS closer to say Windown 7 Home Premium? I would like to speed up the laptop and get some memory freed.


Answer



Windows built-in features does not use much memory. however you can turn the features ON or OFF by doing these steps:



  1. Fist, open your Control Panel and go to Programs and features.

  2. Now at the left side of the window, you can see a link named "Turn Windows features on or off", open it.

  3. Another window will open which allows you to turn the features of or off. just mark the features you want to turn them on or unmark the features that you want to turn them off.

  4. Now, just press OK and the changes will affect.



Note that some applications need to use these features and windows may not able to do some tasks without them.
