Hello,

can you please advice a good software in order to improve my laptop performance?
I just need to speed it up and remove unnecessary things.

Thanks
 
Use CCleaner or similar product. Uninstall unnecessary software. Upgrade RAM if possible. Delete temp files.
 
Also check what programs boot up on start up. You will be surprised how much RAM is being eaten up by things you do not need to use every time you turn your PC on.
 
Buy more Ram
Buy an SSD
Do a fresh Windows Installation

Enjoy your new Computer
 
If you've got windows 8 you might have a disk usage issue, my i7 laptop kept eating it all up. There's a few tips online how to get it back to normal.
To check, when your pc is at its slowest, open task manager and check disk usage.
Good luck!
 
Use CCleaner. Disable everything except Microsoft serivces from startup. You don't need programs starting up on boot all the time.
 
Re-install window with format all data and drive will make laptop faster than ever. Just like new.
 
Also, don't forget to clean your laptop from dusts. Lagging pcs may be an indication of dust build up on your rig.

100% this, those softwares which promise a faster machine oftentimes huge scams and if they help, the speed up is only temporary, alternatively if you don't want to reinstall the OS, delete everything what you don't need then make sure that you aren't infested with anything, run a full system scan with malwarebytes/hitmanpro or both, defragment the HDD, kill/disable all processes which is not necessary to run, this will significantly speed up your system, but it will be only temporary, if you need a permanent fix, you need to do what DonnieBrasco recommended
 
Though upgrading or more hardware can always help, there's a lot of tweaks you can do that will make a difference.
Download Revo uninstaller and remove/uninstall all the programs and crap you don't use
Definitely ccleaner & malwarebytes.
Turn off system restore and delete restore points before running Malwarebytes.
I would never use it afterward either but your decision.

Disable MS Services (Control panel.administrative tools/services) such as Windows Firewall, Windows update except for when using on occasion, Security Center, Desktop Services, Secondary Logon, Remote registry, Error Reporting and optional services such as Bluetooth & touchscreen (unless using)
Disable or delete most/all your startup programs.
There's no reason most of these need to be started every time you are on PC.
Windows Defender...Go through the settings, turn this piece of shit off....it's worthless...kill it!
Folder options-Check Launch in a new process

Antivirus/Firewall software today is often bloated due to wanting to do 99 things other than just secure your computer.
Personally I don't use either but that may not work for you, depends on your online habits, browser config and porn viewing =)
Whatever you use, take time to go through the settings, only use what you need and pay attention to how you configure it.

Good Luck
 
A fresh installation will surely give a better taste of your OS but if its not an option, i will suggest you to check your start up. Disable everything except system files. You'll be fine.
