It has been a while since we reviewed System Mechanic Free 11. It was 2012 then. Now, the free but stripped-down version of commercial PC tune up software has reached version 14.6. And we heard that version 15 is coming really soon. Hope it arrives just in time for Christmas. 🙂
The main interface of System Mechanic Free 14.6 is very much the same with version 11, except for the LiveBoost section (doesn’t work in free version though) in the left pane. Plus, the application fully supports Windows 10.
The free version has some of the features from the full version. There are a handful of basic tools you can use for free. You can access them from the left pane, in Toolbox > Individual Tools. Look for tools without the Advanced icon. Make sure you’ve activated the application with the free license code (in your email inbox) before using the tools.
- Memory Mechanic – enables you to defrag system memory to improve overall speed and stability.
- Startup Optimizer Basic – allows you to scan and remove top 25 unnecessary and unwanted startup programs.

In addition to that, there is a PC Health Status gadget (not available in Windows 10) that shows real-time health status of your system from Windows sidebar.
