Top 5 Factors For Ensuring You Get The Most Out Of Office Technical Hardware

Consequently, even basic requirements such as simultaneously opening two programs

will become difficult, as well as causing overheating within the machine, which can cause a serious hardware fault.

However this can be solved by following a few simple guidelines that can be implemented in a cheap, quick and effective way that requires little technical know-how. These are my top five factors for maximising the efficiency of your office computer:

5. Delete old files and de-fragment your system - Office computer users may install a number of programs for a single purpose, which is never needed again. Even when not used for some time, some programs will open themselves at start-up, which can sap memory and space, - however these can generally be uninstalled easily or disabled at start-up. There is a simple and handy tool for uninstalling contained in the control panel, or for disabling at start-up, run msconfig.exe, go to start up tab and un-tick unnecessary programs.

4. Portable hard drive - Regardless of the work that the office does, it is of utmost importance to regularly backup documents and important data in case of drive malfunction. With an external hard drive, this is easily achievable as they are available at a low price and with a large storage space. These products are the ideal way to keep a second copy of documents regardless of what happens to your computer.

3. Use a second router. Modern companies will spend a lot of their time online; whether they are writing online or trading, the web is a major factor for many businesses. This can also lead to a heavy build up in the office of people using the same hardware, leading to potential slow down. However, with the use of two routers, you will notice a significant increase in internet speed and wireless reach.

2. Tidy your desktop, imagine your desktop screen as your worktop. You will be able to work a lot better if you keep it tidy and clear. Sort your folders properly and for extra clarity, keep them in clear dated folders. This will not produce a significant speed benefit for your system, but it will make organisation and checking documents a lot easier.

1. Using the latest Operating Systems. Whilst this can often be an expensive option, keeping the OS of your computer updated can provide a significant benefit. As computers age rapidly, an up-to-date OS is a fantastic way to maximise your compatibility with other programs. I have previously worked in Addison cubicle space where workers were still using Windows XP, instead of Windows 7. However, by using Windows 7, you will have an increased security system and frequent dedicated updates.

There exists a large amount of ways to increase processor speed - a percentage of which may prove time-consuming to install; however all are worth it as they will simplify work and boost productivity and employee morale.
