Instructions to Test Windows Performance

You can use the built-in Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSAT) to generate a performance score for your computer's components. This provides a numerical way to measure and compare performance.

Follow these steps:

  1. Press the Windows key + R key (⊞+r) to open the "Run" dialog.
  2. Type the following command exactly:
    winsat prepop
  3. Press Enter. A command window will appear and run the tests. This may take a few minutes.
  4. When finished, the window will close. The results are saved as an XML file in:
    %WINDIR%\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore

Understanding Your Computer's Components

Your computer is a system of components working together. Understanding them helps you know what the performance test is measuring.

How to Find Your Specs

You can "scan" or find your computer's specifications in Windows:

  • Task Manager: Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc and go to the "Performance" tab. This shows your CPU, Memory (RAM), and Disk usage in real-time.
  • System Information: Press ⊞+r, type msinfo32, and press Enter. This gives a detailed list of all your hardware.

Processor (CPU): The Brain

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the "brain" of your computer. It performs all the calculations and executes instructions. Its performance is measured in two main ways:

  • Speed (GHz): Measured in Gigahertz (GHz). A higher GHz number means the CPU can perform more calculations per second.
  • Cores: Modern processors are "split" into multiple cores. A 'quad-core' processor has four cores. This is like having multiple brains working on different tasks at the same time, which is crucial for multi-tasking.

RAM vs. Disk Space: The Key Difference

This is a common point of confusion. Think of it like a workbench and a warehouse.

  • RAM (Random Access Memory): This is your short-term memory, or your workbench. It's extremely fast memory that holds the applications and data you are currently using. When you open a program, it's loaded from your disk into RAM. More RAM means you can have more programs open at once without slowing down. It is volatile, meaning all data is lost when you turn the power off.
  • Disk Space (Storage): This is your long-term memory, or your warehouse. It stores your operating system (Windows), all your installed programs, documents, photos, and files, even when the power is off (it's non-volatile). Common types are Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) and Solid-State Drives (SSDs), which are much faster.

Advanced Topic: Overclocking

In some custom-built PCs, users "overclock" their CPU. This means forcing the processor to run at a higher performing speed (GHz) than the manufacturer designed it for. This requires a specialized cooling component (like liquid cooling or a large air cooler) to handle the extra heat.

Risks: Overclocking pushes the component outside of the way it was designed. It generates extreme heat, and if not cooled properly, can cause system crashes, instability, or even run it too hot into failure, permanently breaking the component. This will break the manufacturer's warranty.

How It All Works Together

Your CPU (the chef) pulls data (ingredients) from your Disk (the warehouse) and places it onto your RAM (the workbench). The CPU then works on that data in RAM because it's much faster to access. When you're done, the CPU saves the result back to the Disk for long-term storage.

Measuring Performance

The Windows System Assessment Tool (winsat prepop) you ran earlier is the best way to get a numerical score for each of these components. It measures the performance of your CPU, RAM, and Disk space (storage). These numerical "performance indicators" are what allow you to numerically measure and compare performance, for example, before and after an upgrade.
