Increase Computer Speed

Speed Up My Computer

A slow computer is something just about every computer user has to deal with at one time or another. Computer technology and the software we use on a daily basis seems to advance at a daunting pace that even I have a hard time keeping up with. Let me show you a few simple tips I do to speed up my computer.

TIP #1

You should uninstall every program on your computer that you do not actively use. Trust me; less is more when it comes to performance and the number of programs you have installed. When you install a program it add entries into the registry, takes up hard drive space, places icons on your desktop and potentially adds items to your computer startup. All of these things will have a negative effect on your computers performance. I would recommend running a certified registry cleaner after uninstalling any programs you do not use. This will ensure that all the remains of the programs uninstalled are deleted.

TIP #2

You should run Disk Defrag at least once a month. By doing this, you are looking at more of a long term benefit at making your computer run faster. As files get created and deleted, the hard drive will basically become very un-organized. You can think of it as someone whose job is to file papers. If they do not do it in an organized way, then their retrieval time for a specific file will not be very good. It works the same way with your computer’s hard drive. Running a Disk Defrag will organize the files on your hard drive. This is a must in order to speed up my computer.

TIP #3

Running Disk Clean Up once a week will really help keep your computer running fast. When you surf the net, there are pictures and temporary files downloaded to your computer from every site you visit. These files will never be deleted unless you tell your computer to delete them. This is done by running Disk Clean Up. It will also compress old files that aren’t used very much. This compression can really help free up a lot of hard drive space.

In conclusion, these are some of the things I do to speed up my computer. I would recommend that you do them as well. If you do, you will notice an improvement in your computers performance.
