Help Should I disable Superfetch?

Hello guys!

I have been a little bit concern about superfetch service and what it could affect the performance of my computer, so I would like to get your opinion about it and see if there is any problem to disabling it. Thank you guys and have a good day.
 
The most definitive answer would be to disable it on your own PC and see if its performance is diminished or improved. Everybody has different hardware configurations with different OS tweaks on a base level, and use a really wide range of varying software on a user level so what works for some may not apply to all. If you have say, under 4 GB of RAM and a conventional spinning disk drive, you might possibly see reduced performance but if you have a lot of RAM and a SSD you'll most likely see no change or an improvement by turning if off. Superfetch attempts to improve Windows memory management but its benefit, or not, is conditional on whatever system it's running on.
