Background
After Desktop-12 was retired in October 2020, these components were retrieved:
- 1x 8GB DDR3 memory module
- 1x Nvidia Display Card
- 1x 128GB SSD
The above memory module and display card were added to Desktop 11 in order to upgrade its performance. The SSD will be reserved for a portable storage in future.
To benchmark the performance gain, the Win 10 built-in Experience Index tool was used.
Win 10 Experience Index Tool
- In Win 10, stop all programs in order to get a more accurate result.
- Open a powershall console with Admin right.
- Run the command > winsat formal
- this will generate the results in XML and store them in the folder: C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore
- To display the result, run command > Get-CimInstance Win32_WinSat
