Making older computer a little faster

[Evolution.]

Dell optiplex 755 desktop

4GB ddr2

250gb hdd

windows 10 pro 64 bit

Core 2 duo something @2.0 GHz

 

 

It works fine and all but i need to make a bit faster. I DO NOT WANT TO UPGRADE hardware please don't tell me to, I have the resources but this is a different thing. here's what I've done so far

Installed a fresh copy of windows 10

went to startup programs and disabled all the bullshit programs at startup

also did this

nothings getting faster without an upgrade, otherwise use the generic stuff like , Defrag HDD , Disable windows animations effect on certain stuff, clean up temporary files  , disabling hibernation , disabling system restore monitoring etc.

You're not going to get a faster computer without upgrading
If you're not going to upgrade then you'll need to live with what you have.

As people have said above me, your not going to make your computer faster without better components, a good upgrade would be to get a Q6600 or Q6700. If you can't shell out the cash then I would run a disk defrag and remove unwanted background applications. You might also benefit from downgrading to windows 10 32bit or even back to windows 7.

You can try to boost things up a bit by harnessing the fact that the HDD is spinning faster at the outer edges than the inner edges, thus faster transfer rates. So, load Windows on a partition at the start of the disk. Other than that, feed it an SSD. 120Gig ones are cheap enough. That's about all you can do on a system like that.

thanks for your guys suggestions but I do have all those components readily available for upgrade.
