3 Easy Ways to Speed Up Your PC - How to Have Your Computer Running Like New!

Do you want to speed up your PC? Having a slow computer is a very common problem, but you would be surprised to learn how easy it is to find a solution.



Here are 3 easy ways to speed up your pc and improve its performance:

1. Free up hard disk space: most users have many useless programs and folders that simply clog up the hard drive. To uninstall any program you no longer use just click on Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove Hardware and pick the program you wish to delete. You also need to browse your system, find all the files you have no use for and remove them. Don't forget to empty your recycle bin after deleting the files. Another way to get even more free space is to delete the cookies and temporary files. In case you have 2 drives you could also try moving the "My Documents" folder from the C: drive, in order to free up even more space.
2. Run a disk defragmentation: defragmenting you computer at least once a month will help it keep its filling system organized and greatly increase its speed. Most operating systems provide you with a defragment tool that makes the process very easy.
3. Fix the Registry: a congested registry is the main reason for a slow computer. Over time the registry gets filled with errors and becomes corrupt.

The best way to fix it is to download a repair software. This will scan your PC and clean out all the redundant information. Performing this task by yourself is generally not a good idea, unless you are a very experienced user. Removing the wrong files could cause severe damage to your system.
