What's the best way to speed up computer? There are a number of solutions you can have a try,but some are much more effective than others. If you've been asking yourself "how do I make my PC run faster", here are the top 3 methods.
The first tip on how to increase my computer speed is,cleaning out your hard drive.
This can sound too simple, but yet many have overlooked this. Everything runs smoothly when its clean, car engine, a motor and yes, even your computer. The useless junk files that has been accumulating in your system is exactly that, useless. So any files that you have not used in more than 3 months, get rid of it.
If you are emotionally attached to a particular file, burn it on a CD. You should also use the Disk Cleanup tool to get rid of all the system files that are not need by your machine.
Second tip on how to increase my computer speed is,uninstall all unused programs or applications.
The internet has made it easier for us to download any program that we like, and we tend to download more than we needed. With all those freeware, shareware and free trials, it is easier than ever to download things off the internet, install it, used it once, and forgot about it in the next day.
In short, get rid of all unwanted and unused applications you have. Use the Add/Remove Program application provided by Windows.
Third tip on how to increase my computer speed, defragment your drive.
To do this, you can use the Disk Defragmenter provided by windows. Remember to do step one and two first before defragmenting your drive as this will help to shorten the defragmenting process. The process can take from 2 hours to 12 hours and maybe more depending the size of your drive and how fragmented it is. I recommend that you do this overnight and make sure that there are no other programs running in the background.
