Windows is the name of the operating system released by Microsoft. If you want to be a gamer, you'll likely be using Windows, though Linux, mainly Ubuntu, may start to become a gaming powerhouse in late 2012 and during 2013.

Reduce the size of WinSxS folder

Note: this is for Windows 7 users who installed the Service Pack updates themselves. If your system came with SP1 already installed, this won't do anything when you run it.

You can reduce the Microsoft Windows 7 WinSxS folder's size by about 3GB, on average. The process is extremely simple.

Enter the Command Prompt: Winkey+R > cmd.exe. If you have UAC enabled, or don't know what that means, make sure you're using Command Prompt with Administrator privileges Start>Programs>Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

Enter dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded and hit enter.

Let it run and you're done!
