With the releasing of Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system, a lot of the performance issues present in past installments of this PC mainstay have been addressed, showing a quantifiable improvement in areas that were once headaches for even the most capable machines. Still, regardless of what would seem to be Microsoft's welcome reply to the chorus of complaints about XP and Vista, the onset of issues is expected for even the latest release. No operating system is immune from the kind of mistake that results from any amount of issues: viruses, adware, negligence, for example. Despite how it's currently running, tomorrow could usher in a collection of unanticipated problems, which is to be expected with even new machines. Windows 7 ( Vista, too ) includes a strong set of tools - all included within one easily accessible menu - that the frustrated user can utilize when making an attempt to diagnose the source of a problem. Accessing these tools is as easy as entering a command in the search box that's found in the Start menu. Once you have entered "performance info" you'll be greeted by a window from where you can select "Advanced tools." After those tools are available, it becomes obvious that you have at your disposal an impressive assortment of diagnostic options that will - at the very least - help you towards determining what lies at the source of your hurting system : * Clear all Windows Experience Index scores and re-rate system * View performance details in Event log * Open Performance Monitor * Open Resource Monitor * Open Task Manager * View Advanced system details in System Information * Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows * Open Disk Defragmenter * Generate a system health report One of the most informative tools you can use is Open Resource Monitor. Like Task Manager, Resource Monitor provides an overview of your system's resources, permitting you to control the available resources ( RAM, storage, bandwidth ) your system has to work with. Unlike Task Manager, which is kind of vague in its detail, Resource Monitor works at the micro level - meaning, you're given a degree of specificity that illuminates how an individual process or application figures into the overall allocation of resources. Another useful aid is the "Generate a system health report" option. Similar to having a physical at the doctor's office, this will evaluate your system's health, generating an analysis which will enlighten you on what areas you must address when experiencing issues with your PC's performance. Taking only a few moments, the system analysis will return a report that details every critical aspect of your system. Using this diagnostic analysis, you'll be left with a more clear picture of how your PC is faring. For example, if there's a driver that's hindering your capability to listen to sound, this report will highlight that conflict. These are just the tools that are fairly self-explanatory in their use and interpretation. The more complicated tools - like View performance details in Event log - are as advantageous, but they require an amount of expertise that your average user could be without.
