How to keep your “computer” running fast
What I will be covering in this tutorial is what you can do to keep your windows OS running as fast as you first installed it. I will be talking about six contributors in making your PC slow down over time.
First: Programs the more programs you have on your PC the slower it will become( not including updates) along with the next five contributors.
Second: Disk space, now disk space is a huge contributor to slowing down your PC. This is how it works your disk fills up from inner part of the platter to the outer part. So the swap space moves outward as the disk fills up making retrieval time slower and slower and slower. when your disk is very full the swap space ends up defragmented making retrieval of data even slower.
Third: Startup if you open up "MSconfig" you will find, most likely 3 to 5 or even 6 updaters, several quick-launch services and a lot of services running without you knowing. All that slow down your PC. Why are they there, to accommodate all the programs you have installed, or to run windows features, that you may not even use.(some you will use).
Fourth: Fragmentation of your disk will slow your PC down. Disk defragmentation will not be a problem on the newer windows OS because it does it for you. But if you are running windows 7 or older you will need to defragment your disk. this is something you might want to do once a week just so to save time.
Fifth: Websites and Browsers, will slow your PC down, as they get more" complex " and they are. The harder it is for your outdated hardware to run them. Specifically, your graphics keeping this updated is more important now than ever. if you don't have updated Graphics chipsets your PC will show a huge slowdown.
Sixth: Here's a big problem. Virus programs. If you uninstall your virus program hoping to get performance. And then you get infected, and today you may not even know your infected it just seems like a mild slow down, when in reality you have a virus or malware, That is slowing down your PC.
Recap: Limit the programs you install.
Save all the disk space as possible.
optimize your startup.
Defragment Regularly.
Update Graphics chipset
Keep a good antivirus/malware software.
