So you might ask, How do I speed up my pc?
To address this problem, there is no need to go and seek help from tech support because for improving the performance of your pc is an easy task any novice can perform.
1. Disk Clean Up. This is not an issue of how large your HD is; when you are using your computer on any purpose it serves you best, you are using your CPU and maxing it out before you even know it. Shortage in disk capacity and slowing down in computer performance is caused by internet files that are saved as temporary files, music (or movies) and file downloads, and the installed programs among other things. Clean up temporary internet files by going through this simple process: Click start (windows), type %temp% in the Start Search box. Press enter. CTRL+A to select all, then press delete. Click Yes.
You have to remember though, that files that are deleted manually will go directly to your recycle bin so you have to check it once in a while and empty it as necessary.
2. Delete unwanted programs. Over time, you compile tons of installed programs to your computer. Some of these programs do not have use to you today. {Left unchecked, these files slow your pc down}. Delete these programs by going to control panel and clicking Add/Remove programs. Identify which programs are not used, then delete them.
3. {Turn off unused Windows services}. There are programs that automatically turn on when you start the Windows. Some of them, of course, are important, but there are programs that need not to be active all the time. {To disable some programs that you don’t need, go to Windows Defender in your Control panel; click the tools button, then click Software Explorer; in the Category Box, click Start Up Programs; then select programs you wish to disable}. {Here are some programs that you don’t need to be running all the time: FTP publishing, HTTP SSL, ClipBook, AdobeLM Service, Alerter, Cryptographic Services, Automatic Updates, Security Center, Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), NVIDIA Display Driver Service, and Network Provisioning Service among other things}.
4. Disable Multiple Anti-Virus Program. Most computer users believe that having multiply anti-virus programs give them better protection. The fact is, 1 anti-virus software works as much as 100 virus softwares and the only effect these multiple software has in your computer is they take up a lot of memory that slows your computer down. You can either remove all the unnecessary anti-virus software and leave just one or disable everything but one you wish to run while you use your pc.
