Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 Final

The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 is Microsoft’s comprehensive and consistent programming model for building applications that have visually stunning user experiences, seamless and secure communication, and the ability to model a range of business processes. The .NET Framework redistributable package installs the .NET Framework runtime and associated files required to run applications developed to target the .NET Framework. The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 RC is a highly compatible, in-place update to the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5. The web installer is a small package that automatically determines and downloads only the components applicable for a particular platform.

The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 adds substantial improvements to other functional areas such as ASP.NET, Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), and Windows Identity Foundation (WIF). The .NET Framework 4.5.1 RC delivers better performance, reliability, and security.
The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 is a software component which can be added to the Microsoft Windows operating system. It provides a large body of pre-coded solutions to common program requirements, and manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework. The .NET Framework is a key Microsoft offering, and is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform. The pre-coded solutions in the namespaces form the framework’s class library and cover a large range of programming needs in areas including the user interface, data access, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. The functions of the class library are used by programmers who combine them with their own code to produce applications.
Programs written for the .NET Framework execute in a software environment that manages the program’s runtime requirements. This runtime environment, which is also a part of the .NET Framework, is known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR provides the appearance of an application virtual machine, so that programmers need not consider the capabilities of the specific CPU that will execute the program. The CLR also provides other important services such as security mechanisms, memory management, and exception handling. The class library and the CLR together compose the .NET Framework. The framework is intended to make it easier to develop computer applications and to reduce the vulnerability of applications and computers to security threats.
The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 runs side-by-side with the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and earlier versions, but performs an in-place update for the .NET Framework 4 and the .NET Framework 4.5. The .NET Framework 4.5.1 is already included in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

Supported OS:
Windows Vista SP2 (x86 and x64)
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x64)
Windows Server 2012 (x86 and x64)

How to Use ReadyBoost to Speed Up Your Windows 8

ReadyBoost was introduced with Windows Vista years ago but not really taken seriously until Windows 7 was released.. ReadyBoost works by allowing a Windows user to utilize a USB, drive, SD card or CompactFlash card to filter a PC’s cache. This can have a significant impact on the functionality of Windows, since a removable device can react quicken when caching than your computer can..........

What types of devices are compatible with ReadyBoost?

You can use a SD card, CompactFlash card or USB flash drive to take advantage of ReadyBoost with the following conditions:

• At least 256 MB of free space, 1 GB of space is desirable for optimal performance
• An access time of 1 MS for a 1MB write
• Capable of read speeds at 2.5 MB/s for a 4KB random read

Your PC must also be utilizing a non-SSD. Solid-state drives are capable of performing the same way ReadyBoost performs, so it’s not necessary on PCs with this type of hardware.
Depending on the amount of space on your removable device, you may need to format it as either FAT32 or NTFS. For a removable device with 4GB or less space, you’ll want to use a FAT32 partition format. For anything above that, you’ll want to use the NTFS format.
In Windows 7 and Windows 8, you can also utilize up to eight removable devices with ReadyBoost enabled for maximum performance. While this may not be necessary for all PC users, it all depends on how large your removable device is to begin with.
ReadyBoost is available for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Our guide will show you how to take advantage of ReadyBoost in Windows 8, but the steps are similar in Windows 7.

How to use ReadyBoost in Windows 8

Once you insert your removable device, click on “My Computer.”

Right-click on your removable device. In this case, we’re using a USB drive.

Click on “Properties.”
Then, click on the “ReadyBoost” tab.

If available, your removable device can be used as a ReadyBoost device. If not, you’ll need to find a compatible device to continue the process.
Windows will always recommend the best settings for your device.
You can change the space to reserve for system speed to this.
You can opt to dedicate the drive for ReadyBoost usage, but that doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily get the best performance. For the most part, follow Windows’ suggestion on how to use ReadyBoost.
When set, click “Apply.”

A pop-up will let you know the status of the ReadyBoost conversion.
The larger the device, the longer it’ll take. When finished, ReadyBoost will automatically begin working. As long as the removable device is in place, ReadyBoost will be running.
As you’ll see in My Computer, your device will be “full” and in use as a ReadyBoost device.

It’s key that when you don’t want to use ReadyBoost, you eject the removable device properly or else you can cause system stability issues within Windows.
At any time you can disable ReadyBoost by following the same steps and turning it off for your removable device.

Do you really need ReadyBoost in Windows 8?

If your PC meets or exceeds the minimum RAM specifications, you’ll notice no performance difference when using ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost can have its advantages, and if you have the removable device to do it, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t see what it can do for you. ReadyBoost can easily be enabled or disabled on a removable devices, so there’s no harm in trying.
