Help! Do I really need a dual boot?
HI all!
As my old desktop rig is starting to die slowly, I have to rely on my laptop even more. I use it for two main activities: DJ and work. I just did a system restore to factory settings because the performance of my dj software/hardware was being affected by the rest of my applications installed (which I also need). Of course, I performed optimization with win7, so I can't really blame the machine's performance.
Now with a fresh restore, first thing I did was perform win7 optimization (with the helpful tutorials found here) and then installed only my dj software and hardware drivers for it. All worked perfectly with top performance.
My issue is, that I need to reinstall the rest of my applications for my work, and I know by experience that my dj performance on the machine will be affected again.
I need an user with as win7 barebones as possible running only my dj applications with no extra processes, background programs or services (from other non-dj applications), and another user with all the rest of my needed software and respective processes and services, that run on that user only and not affecting my dj profile.
Is setting up user accounts throught a simple acount creation on the Control Panel/Manage another account really doing to help me on this? Do I need to make special profile with other method? Or do I must make a dual boot?
I have Windows 7 Home Premium and some features might not be available.
Help Please! Thanks in advance for any given support!
