In my option, we can consider the following ways to improve performance before install CTM:
- Turn off System Restore.
- Move pagefile to unprotected partition or disable it if you have more physical memory.
- Move “My Documents”,“My Music”,“My Pictures”,“My videos”,“Desktop”,“Favorites”,“Temp” and “Temporary Internet Files” to unprotected partition.
- Make sure there are enough free space on system partition and only protect system partition(s).
Any ideas?
