Many people can't stand the temptation of Win8, and vowed to use the most revolutionary OS in the legend. As a result, the performance after installation is not as strong as Win7. Open the folder and it will be stuck. After the boot, the hard disk reads continuously, and the CPU takes up the bunker! Is this in the pothole?
Here are some Win8 optimizations:
