Five Fantastic Windows 8 Apps for Enhancing PC Performance

September 20, 2013

Windows 8 is a truly unique operating system. While some appreciate it, others have felt very confused at first, because it is extremely different from what they were used to with Windows 7. Nevertheless, Windows 8, which has adopted the increasingly popular flat design trend, has many fascinating features that will most likely keep tech geeks hooked. Furthermore, the Windows app store is without a doubt the most important feature of Windows 8.

From it you can purchase a wide variety of meaningful applications that will help you enhance your PC’s or tablet’s performance with only a few clicks. Much like the Google app-store, the Windows store is filled with many tools, which you might, or might not need. In case you do not know what to choose from the thousands of contenders deeming your attention, here are five apps you should definitely install.

Windows 8 Apps to Enhance PC Performance

Everybody knows that the Windows market is the largest app market at the moment, so let us recommend five apps, and hopefully save you from the torment of searching on your own:

1. DoubleKiller

 DoubleKiller - Windows 8 Apps to Enhance PC Performance

Disk space has always been a problem on computers and tablets. No matter how hard we try, we always seem to burden our hard-drives with useless or duplicated data, and the biggest problem is that we don’t know how to remove it. DoubleKiller is a fantastic tool that will help you free space on your drive. What it basically does is to uproot cloned data such as movies, programs, photos or music, and remove them. It takes a look at the hash data, and if it finds any duplicates, it will erase them in order to clear some space. This stand-alone executable also has some customization settings that will protect certain folders with special attributes.

2. DropIr

2. DropIr - Windows 8 Apps to Enhance PC Performance

DropIr is an assistant that will make the transferring of files and documents a breeze. This app can also help you transfer information from the web. DropIr makes a “Drop ozone” on your computer where you can place documents that you will later distribute on the internet. The files are rapidly transferred in a download URL which can be found on the clip board. DropIr is one of those apps that you must have if you are managing a team, sharing documents both ways or trying to collaborate. Many guest posting service companies, and digital agencies are using it for the simple fact that it is the most efficient way of sharing documents with team members.

3. Unlocker

3. Unlocker - Windows 8 Apps to Enhance PC Performance

One of my favorite Windows 8 apps is Unlocker. Why? Because it takes care of one of the most annoying problems that I encounter on my PC. Do you know what happens sometimes when you are trying to delete files? The annoying pop-up “the file is open in another application” appears, and in most cases you can do nothing to stop it. Unlocker is extremely effective in removing these lapses and helping you successfully delete unneeded files. It is a light software, that also comes with a user friendly interface and Assistant that sits quietly in the system tray. We can safely say that it is a must-have app for every Windows workstation.

4. TCPView

4. TPCView

An exquisite tool for windows 8, the TCPView will enable you to look at the apps that are connected to the internet. It will show you detailed listings of all TCP and UDP endpoints on your device, and also gives reports of the endpoint’s owner. This tool is useful because it will help you end processes that eat up your bandwidth, or download unnecessary data from the World Wide Web.

5. Eraser

5. Eraser - Windows 8 Apps to Enhance PC Performance

We have discussed about many apps that enhance the device’s capabilities, or which lessen the management of files on your computer. Eraser is another example of app that should be found on your computer. Whenever you take a document away from your hard-drive, Erase will make it impossible for you to recover it using the Recuva software. Recuva is a data back-up tool that can save you from many accidents. Nevertheless, we don’t always want that data to be left behind, there are certain things that we want to uproot and remove completely as they use much needed space. Eraser will do this for you with one simple program.

In conclusion, it is essential to take good care of your computer, and the apps mentioned above will ensure that your PC will be error free as much as possible. What Windows 8 apps are you using for enhancing PC performance? Please share your thoughts in the comment box below!
