I recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and overall I’m noticing Windows 10 is a lot slower than Windows 8.1 in the same tasks!
I run Windows using Parallels in a Macbook Core i7 with 16GB of RAM, so processing power is not a problem.
I kept the older Windows 8.1 machine and both have the same apps. If I open both machines at the same time, the overall speed difference is very noticeable.
Already disabled Windows defender and I don’t use any antivirus.
I'm about to go back to Windows 8.1. Is there anything i could do to improve Windows 10 performance? Is there anything that could cause such speed difference?
