I have an old laptop for my son to study. Installed Win10 on it, but it runs soooo slowly. Looking for an optimisation tool that will help free-up system resources removing the unnecessary stuff. Could you please suggest anything? Is Ultimate Windows Tweaker a good option for this?
Thanks!

Start with AutoRuns. A clean startup will do more to fix system slowness than anything else.
I would simply perform a new clean install using the default provided windows 10 OS image (.ISO file) using the media creation tool or downloading directly from Microsoft.
Nice collection. Add Total Commander and Hirens Boot Disk.
