Maybe download NVIDIA control panel, and make adjustments from there, but if not gaming, probably is just fine as is?

 

Right click on the desktop
select Nvidia Control Panel

 

That is a very old graphics card which has a very weak performance rating for gaming.

You did not provide the entire list of hardware specs for your computer, so upgrading to a better performance graphics card may not be advisable or possible.

While true, I note the OP seems pretty clear when he said (my bold added),

I never played a video game in my life and I never will.

Then I say, leave the default settings alone! Windows knows how to properly utilize system resources right out of the box - especially for users who use their systems just like you - that is, for "normal" computing tasks like using Windows File Explorer, surfing the Internet, email, updating social media, or even streaming videos.

I also say, since you told us nothing else about your computer, there is NO WAY anyone here can tell you how to optimize your system - "IF" it is even possible to improve performance just through any setting.

"Free" tasks you can perform to help improve and keep optimized your system include keeping Windows and your security programs current. I don't normally recommend updating drivers just because a new driver is out there except for the graphics driver. So if there is a newer driver for your card, install that. Also, keep your system clean of clutter. Use Windows own Disk Cleanup.

Also, make sure you have a nice big chunk of free disk space on your boot drive. Don't listen to anyone who says you need to keep a certain percentage free. That makes no sense these days. With today's HUGE drives, that could mean leaving 100s of gigabytes of disk space unused. Windows needs a nice chunk of free disk space but 30GB is plenty. If less than 30GB, I recommend uninstalling any programs you installed but don't use. There are other thing you can move and we can help you with that, if necessary.

I will add this; depending on your starting point, you typically get the most bang for your money by adding more RAM. So, for example, if you currently only have 4GB of RAM installed, bumping it up to 8GB will provide a significant performance boost.

However, note the gains go down from there. That is, if you currently have 8GB installed, bumping it up to 16GB will improve the performance, just not by very much - and depending on the task, it may not be noticeable at all.

 

Even installing the latest and greatest video driver might not be a good idea for such an old card. While the latest driver from the nvidia site does support the 7xx series cards, the newer drivers are optimized for the 30/40xx series cards. IF this were me, I would opt for a driver from the archive. Since that card was released way back in 2013, I would be looking at a driver no newer than late 2020 or early 2021. I checked and you can get a driver from late 2020 in the nvidia archive.

 

I apologize for not providing more details. The thing is, mu PC is 5 y.o. and at that time it was a low end average. It's still running relatively fine. Internet is fast and that's the most important as I spend most of my time browsing or watching soccer. From your comments I can only conclude that there is nothing I can do with the graphic cart to speed up Windows explorer. It is a bit slow, especially when opening programs or folders. So I'll leave it as is but could you please tell me how do I mark this tread "solved? Thank you all for the advice.

 

At the first post in this thread, click the 3 dots at the far right. If the thread is newer than 24 hours, you should be able to mark it solved.
If it is older than 24 hours, click the Report option given when you click the 3 dots and ask to have the thread marked solved.

 

Thanks mate. I made a report.
