Your computer’s poor performance is likely the reason you’re here. It’s probably a couple of years old, and anything you try to do causes it to grind to a halt. Maybe a barfly advised you, “Your registry needs cleaning.” If you use a registry cleanup, will Windows run faster on your computer? “Probably” is the shortened version of the correct response. But there are other methods to speed up your PC and breathe new life into your aging computer without spending a fortune on professional repair. In this essay, I will quickly review the methods available to speed up your computer. In most cases, you can handle it independently, but for the few that require going deeper inside your system, you may want to hire a professional. The good news is that these methods can speed up your computer without spending a fortune. My computer is over three years old and performs as well as it did when it was first purchased. These are just some basic precautionary measures that I do. Space constraints prevent me from going into detail about every strategy, but I plan to publish more in-depth articles. Visit my website via the link at the bottom for in-depth explanations of these strategies. Warning! It is more common to prefer a sluggish computer to one that doesn’t work. Therefore, take some precautions before implementing any of the alterations I am about to advise;
Create a copy of everything necessary, including your inbox. Email messages are not default saved in the “My Documents” folder.
Make a system backup and test it out.
Create a system disk image using the appropriate software and try it.
What causes your computer to slow down over time? There are two primary causes of this during regular operation (we will ignore virus infections and hardware failures for the time being). Files on the hard drive increase in number with time. Files are first stored efficiently, but fragmentation occurs as time goes on. Therefore, different sections of the same file are written to different locations on the hard disk. As a result, when you access your files and for numerous secret actions done by Windows, the computer spends more time reading (and writing to) the drive. The settings and parameters of your computer’s software and hardware are stored in a registry database. Over time, the registry becomes bloated due to the accumulation of redundant and incorrect entries. Windows is continually reading the registry, and the longer it takes to read it as it expands and becomes more “dirty” is directly proportional to how much time Windows spends doing so. This is why installing and removing software frequently is not a good idea.
When you uninstall software in Windows, it leaves behind a lot of useless registry entries. The slowness of your computer can be attributed primarily to these two factors. Fixing fragmentation on a hard drive is simple. Keeping a clean register is more of a challenge. At least once a month, you should defragment and inspect your hard drive. Several free defragmentation apps are available for download, and they all outperform Windows in speed and efficiency. As the computer sits idle, some work is done in the background. Try looking up SmartDefrag or UltraDefrag. Unlike Windows, these will also defragment the page file. Fixing the register is more complicated. Reinstalling Windows (and all of your programs) will fix the issue, but it’s a severe measure that won’t solve the underlying cause and will take a lot of time. This has the benefit of eradicating viruses and defragmenting your hard drive. If speed is of the essence, registry cleanup software is the way. Read my site’s conclusion for my thoughts on the best registry cleaners and see how-to videos on using them. Here is a list of further tweaking suggestions I will delve into in subsequent pieces. The vast majority do not cost anything.
Please put in a virus scanner, and make sure it’s always up to date. There are superior, performance-harming, free alternatives to paid subscription services. Free AVG is my personal favorite.
Get rid of unused stuff. Instead of doing it by hand, look up CCleaner.
Ensure adequate ventilation by looking for dust on fans and heat sinks.
Delete any unnecessary software.
Avert your eyes from the screen.
Instead of using disk indexing, try free agent ransack.
Reduce the number of programs that load at startup with the help of CCleaner.
Don’t compress your files.
Upgrade your RAM with a flash drive and either ReadyBoost for Windows 7 or Eboostr for Windows XP. To try it out for free, click here. MakeWindowsFaster
