Make Windows 10 Preview Faster
Transparency is enabled by default, and uses more resources than using a solid background – which is the same as previous versions of Windows. Head to Settings > Personalization > Colors and scroll down. Then turn off Make Start, taskbar, and action center transparent.
If that doesn’t work, remember that this is still a Preview build, and the official version is coming out on July 29th. Hopefully by then we will see improvements with the older PCs like ones with Core M, Centrino, or low-end AMD processors. Also, remember these are the minimum system requirements for Windows 10, and as most of us know, minimum specs need to be doubled, at least, for best performance.
