Don't Think. Just go with HIDevolution

This system rocks! @Donald@HIDevolution rocks! This forum rocks! My games and I are definitely rockkin a little harder now!
A big shout out to everyone here just trying to make sure people spend their money on something that works.

My first clevo purchase from amazon was a fat dud. It did lead me to find this forum though so...
My Evoc system is a straight up STUD! And NoteBookReview showed me what I didn't know yo!

HIDevolution's commitment to top tier customer service, warrantied after market upgrades and access to Prima BIOs are worth every single one of your hard earned dollars.

Thanks to the community for helping me out with my farked up amazon p775tm1 and thanks in advance for the stupid questions I'll be asking in the future.

 

Awesome man! We all share the same positive experience with HIDevolution! You pay, they deliver a quality product that *works*!

Lemme know if you ever need me to tweak your machine.

Here are the Phoenix Tweaks:

1- Uninstallation of all the Windows Store Garbage Apps like 3D Paint, Print 3D, Alarms & Clock, Feedback Hub, Maps, Groove Music, News, Weather, etc.
2- Removing all Windows 10 Privacy Invasion stuff like Telemetry, sending your keystrokes to Microsoft, automatically installing suggested apps in the background, allowing Microsoft to conduct experiments on your laptop, disabling automatic driver updates through Windows updates, disabling Windows 10 ads, disabling Cortana, Cloud Search etc.
3- Removal of nVIDIA and Intel Telemetry
4- Adjusting a lot of options in PC Settings like disabling Windows Tablet Mode (you have a laptop not a tablet), disabling suggestions appearing in the start menu, disabling automatically connecting to Paid WiFi Hotspots, disabling Game DVR which reduced performance in games, and a lot more.
5- Replacing Cortana with a much better search tool that finds results instantly called Everything which finds any file you want as soon as you start typing even a few letters of its name and it doesn't even rely on the Windows Indexing Service to do this!
6- Restoring the classic Windows Photo Viewer
7- Restoring the Classic Windows 7 Start Menu
8- Removal of the new and useless 3D Objects Folder that appears when you open "Computer"
9- Completely disabling Windows Defender from its roots (including all scheduled tasks and startup files) for those who want to install their own AV. ESET NOD32 Antivirus is highly recommended if you want the utmost security with the least system performance impact.
10- Updating all drivers to the latest versions in case they weren't up to date.
11- Disabling the performance hit that is caused by the Meltdown and Spectre patches recently released by Microsoft (optional, only if you don't mind having this security vulnerability and would rather have your CPU's full performance back)
12- Overprovisioning your SSD anywhere between 10-20% depending on how much space you can spare to ensure optimal and consistent performance at all times.
13- Blocking the Google Chrome Software Reporter Tool (which causes a high system load when it is scanning files)
14- Updating all drivers
15- Creating a system restoration image using Macrium Reflect

 

yeah just let me know. thanks @Phoenix

 

Do you have a thread where all this info is? Can it be applied to any notebook?

Cheers.
