My Windows 10 laptop has 4 GB RAM and is slow and it loads many applications while booting like Skype, Intel drivers and many more.
I know how to disable Skype and other custom applications but is there a way I can see and disable Windows 10 services which I don't need and can disable to improve performance.

"slow" can be caused by many things.
Download Process Explorer from here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx
Make sure you run it as administrator to see all processes.
If CPU graph is above 3-5% regularly use technique below to determine culprit.
If RAM/HDD high usage check what app is doing Read/writes.
If out of RAM, see biggest memory using apps and optimize/close.

You can always use a USB flash drive to make the PC faster as ReadyBoost is a thing today. Open the properties for your flash drive, open the ReadyBoost tab, select Use this device and specify how much space you want to use, and click Apply. You may want to restart your computer as well.
However, don't do this on a USB boot disk. You might wind up corrupting it.

You can also use the whole capacity of the drive if its useless but if you put data in there then just move the megabyte bar a bit left where it matches the size you might need also! NEVER USE THIS ON ANY USB BOOT DISK OR IT'S GONNA BE CORRUPTED!!!!!! – watonis – 2016-10-05T18:36:37.427
