One of the key factors is RAM usage.Some applications tend to automatically start with the pc.Examples are winzip,nero,anti-virus,..Amongst these only the anti-virus software is needed;the rest can be removed as per user preferences.In most cases removing the startup entry does not affect the application;run the application anytime it is needed.Removal can be done using msconfig,windows defender or ccleaner.
Another thing is to free the C drive;by removing temporary files,sytem restore points or moving data to other drives.This can be done using disk cleanup or ccleaner.The advantage of a tool like ccleaner is that it provides for selective removal of unwanted data.
Defragment the drives.Use the built-in defragment tool or others like defraggler.I did this on my pc yesterday and to my surprise it freed up 5 gb of space on my C drive.Alongside this also delete unwanted items in the registry using ccleaner or registry mechanic.
Not to be forgotten scan for viruses and malware on the pc.Use multiple tools to scan.
The last option is to restore the C drive from a backup made previously.If the backup was taken on the day the OS was installed the system will go back to that state.In other words it'll work like a new pc.
