I hear you, fact is people who dont wanna mess around with their PC buy a mac.
Per se windows machines are set to go fine for a 5 and 50 year old at the same time, and also for games and office-software.
If you wanna use it with an professional-realtime application theres no way around that. Unless you spend as much money as for a mac and just hope the system is powerful enough to ignore the primary purpose it is set up to.
So maybe with 8gb and an i7 theres no need to do the optimization,
But i highly doubt that.
So what im trying to say is windows by default is like a car with all security options enabled, so even if you have the power It wont let you unleash it until you tell it to. Like a porsche with a speedlimit, useless for pros
