How can I speed up my computer for free? This is a question that so many computer users ask themselves.l would like to share some knowledge on ways that I have found that will help to instantly and effectively speed up your computer for free.
1)To make your computer fast, you have to ensure that it is not infected by viruses / spyware. So a powerful and reliable anti-virus program becomes a must for the stable running of your computer. Moreover, you have to regularly update your virus database when available to make sure that you are always enjoying the latest one.
2)Defragment your computer to make all files on the hard disk always stay close together and contiguously. Normally, this becomes the physical reason for why the computer slows down with time. As we delete/ create/ update files, they will become more and more chaotic. Seriously, some individual files may be broken into many small parts and then located over the entire hard drive, resulting in fragmentation. Though it is still possible for us to read these scattered files, the outcome will slow down the computer as it will take some time for the hard disk head to read and then merge these separate parts together every time when you open a file. So to speed up your computer, please do remember to regularly defragment your computer. But it is recommended to first run the built-in Disk Cleanup before to clear the useless system junk files and free up more available hard disk space.
3)To speed up your computer quickly, what you need to do is to cancel some unnecessary startup entries. Under normal circumstances, Microsoft will automatically enable some services (do not need by lots of PC users) to load at Windows startup, which takes up a large amount of system resources when booting up the computer. Apart of this, when installing programs, some will also automatically add entries to run along with the Windows. All of these will greatly slow down the computer at startup. Therefore, an optimization of the startup items is vital. You can go to Start -> run -> type "msconfig"and press"Enter"to System Configuration Utility -> select "Startup"tab at the top. Here, you can simply cancel the unnecessary startup entries.
If you don't want to have a slow running computer, here I introduce a best solution to help you speed up computer immediately.
