Performing a factory reset on your PC can clear temporary files and settings, which might improve performance. However, it doesn't guarantee faster startup or better game performance—those depend on other factors like hardware and software.
Unless you have a lot of programs running constantly, it’s not necessary. Even if you adjust settings in msconfig or manage installed apps, your hardware might still be outdated for the games you want to play.
It will likely become quicker. I usually refresh my system every few months, which boosts performance for a short while. I don’t often add random software to my machine, but even well-managed Windows sets tend to slow down over time. This method can be smoother if you use a Chocolatey or BoxStarter script (or someone else’s that suits you). Chocolatey acts as a Windows package manager, similar to apt or yum for Linux. BoxStarter simplifies using Chocolatey and helps with Windows setup tasks like customizing the taskbar. https://chocolatey.org / https://boxstarter.org/
