    I thought I saw a guide to this on this site but I can't find it now. Can someone point me to it or did I see this somewhere else?

    Thank you in advance.

    Unecessary processes? You mean like services.

    Windows Indexing / Windows Search and Superfetch are the two worst ones, and should be disabled.(Assuming you use a different search tool to replace the Search.)
