I always measured the performance of PC's I build for friends. I found it a pretty good measure of what the PC could do as well as seeing how much a new SSD for the OS, or a new video card did for the PC. I am unable to find this capability in Windows 10. Did this fall into the same category as the jump lost settings. I also used that capability extensively, setting the number of Jump list items I can pin to Word, File Explorer etc. Any one know how to make the Performance measurements?
Performance Measurements or performance index like in Windows 7

They dumped that irrelevant tool as of Windows 8.1 as it has never reflected real world performance scores, I suggest using actual performance benchmarking tools such as Passmark.
A free windows 10 app such as https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/pc-benchmark/9wzdncrfj9nd would also suffice, provided you know enough on the subject of parts and performance.

I just loaded that app (after 6 attempts) and ran the benchmarks. I do not know much on the subject but while shopping for USB drives, there was much said about read/write speeds and that gave me an idea of what was fast (or slow) regarding data transfer rates.
In addition to this, free utilities can be downloaded to monitor real time CPU speed and usage as well as CPU core temps.
