How to make my computer go faster

Your computer is going slower every time? The PC is an indispensable and necessary device both at home and at work. But it requires minimal maintenance to avoid slowing down its operation. Here are some tips so that your PC is always in top form.

Steps to follow:

one

Uninstall the programs you do not use. Start Menu> Control Panel> Add or remove programs. Select the program and click on uninstall or remove.

two

It is also convenient to debug the team of temporary Windows files . To do this, you just have to locate the folder on your computer and delete all its contents. This is usually in C:, Windows folder and, within it, folder 'Temp'. In this folder we select everything and delete it. The next location of temporary files is in each user's personal folder. In the C route:> Users> username> AppData> Local> Temp. Also delete everything you find in this folder.

3

Eliminate temporary internet. Open your browser and in the File> Tools menu, select 'Internet Options'. In the first option 'Temporary Internet files' click on 'delete files'.

4

You can also help with programs to keep your computer free of unnecessary files. The program 'CCleaner' (download it from Softonic here) is one of the best. Execute it from time to time to eliminate useless files from your system.

5

Install a quality antivirus and that does not take up much memory, like the ESET NOD32 (download via Softonic here). Programs like Norton or McAfee take up a lot of space.

6

One of the reasons why your computer can go slower over time is the file fragmentation, which makes the hard drive work harder. To fix it, you must defragment it . It is an operation that usually takes about two hours so do not be in a hurry. The first thing you should do is close all the programs. The route is: Start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Disk Defragmenter. Once there, click on 'Defragment'. In Windows Vista, the simplest thing is that you go to Computer, and click with the secondary button on the disk. Choose Properties> Tools> Defragment. Once there, press 'Start'.

7

Install a more 'light' operating system . If you have Windows Vista, go to XP. If you have XP you can switch to Windows 2000, with almost the same features. If not, you can also choose Linux.

8

If with all these steps your computer keeps going slow, you can also put more RAM, a type of memory used by computers to store data and programs that need to have a quick access. Thus, the greater the amount of RAM of a computer, the faster it will go.
