Computers have become indispensable parts of our work cultures. For their low cost and user-friendly applications, computers with Windows operating systems are the best choice for many users across the world. With time, our computer systems start operating slower as they are overloaded with more data. Some of this data is useful to you and needs to be stored on your system, but some data is there just slowing it down, which is of no essence for you.
Here are five tips that will help you to speed up your PC:
Install Hardware with Sufficient Space
The need for storage space depends upon the nature of usage of the system by the user. If you need more storage space in your PC, then make sure that you have enough. Follow the 10 percent rule. The 10 percent rule says that you must always leave at least 10 percent of your system storage space unoccupied as it helps your PC run smoother and faster.
Keep Your Desktop Clean
If it has become difficult for you to find the wallpaper on your PC screen, it must be because of the hundreds of files that you have saved there. The files saved on your desktop take up space on the internal storage of your system which means your applications are getting less space to work efficiently, thus making your PC slow.
Scan Your PC at Regular Intervals
It is inevitable that using the internet can cause your PC to get infected by viruses, malware and Adware. They can be transferred to your PC through external devices that you might connect your PC including pen drives, external hard disks and CDs, to name a few. To make sure that there is no harmful software hidden in your PC, run a full system scan at least once in a month.
This will help you detect any viruses and faulty or corrupt software that needs to be fixed. If you are a techie, then you can probably do this easily, but if you are not, don’t worry. You can always hire an it support professional to help you get your system fixed.
Uninstall Unused Programs
There are thousands of applications that are launched on the market every day. If you are in the habit of trying new software, make sure that you uninstall the unused ones at regular intervals to help preserve space on your hard drive. Keep the ones that you need, do not keep any software just because you like its display or something unimportant like that.
Adjust Visual Effects to Help Your PC Perform Better
There are hundreds of visual effects provided by Windows that the user can choose from with just a few clicks. Go for high-resolution visual effects only if you have sufficient primary storage else it can slow down your PC and cause troubles.
