I will try to browse on the said book. Since my PC is experiencing a slow pace, this reading might help. I have already upgraded everything and still I am not able to get results. I am planning of selling it and just buy a new one. I want to have a fast computer because my job is so demanding.

This was a decent article although I don’t know if I agree with the list of services the author recommends disabling.
For example, Windows Time is useful if you want to keep your clock in sync with the internet. The impact doesn’t really effect the boot time.
The most effective thing that I found to speed up your boot time is removing startup programs.
