how to speed up your computer, optimize it, without adding any extra software or investing in any further hardware’s and software’s.?? Just follow some some quick and east steps.

So, everyone in this connected world have the same question, that how to speed up your computer, optimize it, without adding any extra software or investing in any further hardware’s and software’s.

When we all buy a computer whether it is based on a Windows OS or a Mac OSX, they all become to start lagging and our life of the computer starts stopping and it slow down its functioning. 

Why do our lightning Computers Slow Down?

However, although computers do slow down after the installation of software, the main reason they get slower is because every year newer software has bigger and bigger requirements. For example: The Windows 98 operating system required 24 megabytes of memory and just 200 megabytes of hard drive space, whereas Windows 7 requires 2 gigabytes of memory and 20 gigabytes of hard drive space.

For us, this means that without upgrading, our computer’s specifications don’t change at all. But every year, software needs more and more of your computer’s precious resources. So when you install software on a 5-year-old computer, it will slow it down a lot more then it would if you installed it on a new computer.

People run into this problem a lot when they wipe their computer clean and reinstall the operating system. Their computer will be just as fast as the day they bought it, but the moment they install new software that is a few years younger than the computer, well, that’s when it slows way down again.

How to Optimize Your Computer:-

There are 5 major things that take just a few minutes or more than that of your time, but can make a significant difference in how fast your computer performs, so that you can enjoy it better:

• Clearing your cookies and other temporary web and program data every so often will really increase how fast your internet browser and your computer responds, and will even fix most problems you have with the internet. Here’s a link on how to do this with many popular web browsers.
• Running security scans is something you should set up to happen automatically each week. If malware has infected your computer, you can bet that it will take a very large portion of your computer’s resources for its own malevolent purposes. Checking for malware once a week will definitely help to keep your computer running at tip-top shape.
• Along with keeping your antivirus software up to date, keeping your operating system supplied with the latest updates will do a world of difference. I know that many people out there (certainly not my listeners) hit the “skip” or “remind me later” button when their computer asks to install updates. I recommend checking for new updates a few times a month, because many of these updates will help to close security holes, and will also optimize certain aspects of your operating system.
• One of the biggest boosts to your machine’s performance would be to limit the items that start when your computer boots up. I generally only have 3-4 programs open at start up, and then only run the programs I need to use when I need them. If you have 20+ programs running automatically when your computer starts, not only will it take forever to boot, but it will be slow the entire time you use it. This happens because even if you’re not using these programs, they will run in the background, which still uses your computer’s resources. Here are links on how to prevent programs from starting on both Windows and Mac machines.
• And another very important point is that to regularly defragment your hard drives, because it often takes up too much space due to regular cut-copy-paste. So often use it to clear up the fragments that is made up.

Here is a quick Summary of the 4 Quick and Efficient Tips for speeding up your computer:

1. Delete cookies and temporary files from your internet browser and program files frequently.
2. Run your antivirus at least once a week to make sure no malware snuck into your system.
3. Keep your antivirus and operating system up to date.
4. Limit the amount of programs that run automatically when you start your computer.
5. Use the Windows Defragmentation, which a is inbuilt feature, to restore your fragmented hard drive spaces.For more refer to this post - How to defrag a hard disk partition and why should we defrag a hard disk.

Well that’s all for today!! Hope you liked the dose of tekkieism for the day.
