    how would i test if game mode is working.?
    i have used Heaven Benchmark 4.0
    run it on and off but score its the same. sometimes only 1 fps gain or on minimal fps score is a bit higher.

    as for storage sense. should i leave it on or off.?
    what sxactly does this do.? and if off is there another way to clean windows.?

    Keep game mode off, it is useless. On long online gaming sessions it has the opposite effect, as it induces bigger lag when the various scheduled tasks and services will restart periodically.
    Keep storage sense of, it is useless. You would not want Windows to automatically delete some of your downloaded programs or whatever.
    Manage your storage yourself, just by opening explorer and looking at how much free space is available.
    On a HDD (mechanical drive), even 99% full is fine. On a SSD (solid-state flash drive), never go above 70% full. Move/Delete/Uninstall stuf if that's the case, else performance will suffer greatly.
