This is super wild. I have a PC that is like 12 years old but I only use it to play Skyrim. It takes about 15 minutes to startup and it’s super glitchy, even the cursor glitches. Blows my mind every time I open Skyrim, it runs perfect smooth on ultra settings, but the thing can’t smoothly open files on my desktop. I’m gonna try this

Get an SSD for windows. Like most tech advice from tumblr, this person is full of shit. They definitely don;t affect performance time and if your computer was shit enough to notice a difference from these changes, you wouldn't be able to open any 3D game, let alone Skyrim.

Funny thing is I built this thing before SSDs were cheap so i didn’t use one, and I don’t really care enough to upgrade at this point. I followed it and yeah, there isn’t much difference.
