Steps I Use to Speed Up My Laptop

"Not Responding" ....."Operation Timed Out"....frozen screens and God knows what other problems we face every day on our computers. These issues are always in the back of your head when working, but the most problematic issue that you want to get rid of would be the slow speed of your computer. I always wondered why my notebook was slow, and sought ways to speed up my overall performance in any way I could. Alas, my worries are now over by following some advice from a friend.

Unfortunately, instead of adjusting a few things, people believe they need to buy a new computer in order to increase laptop speed. My views were initially the same but this just isn't true. You can. Speed up your laptop in a few easy steps. This I definitely would like to share with you.

Step 1

It is preferred you start by defragging your system files. A disk defragmenter helps in accessing information in a much more speedy way. Whenever you want to process some information or access some file that you usually might not use, your operating system needs to jump from one place to another until it gets the desired file from it's location. Defragging allows your system to stream information through a single path. This will definitely trigger your laptop computers ability to access and run several programs.

Step 2

On the next step you should consider removing startup programs, as many as possible. Whenever you install some program, it usually has default options which enable it to automatically start a program as soon as the computer starts. These settings slow down the speed with which your computer can start up or shut down. These programs steal another important space known as RAM, which adds immensely to the sluggishness of your computer. Eliminate all those programs that you usually do not use or just go to run button on your Start button and remove all checks that any kind of programs might have on the startup sequence.

Step 3

Third step could be applied by removing all those registry congestions on your system files. This is the most important step that you should follow under any circumstance if you really want to get your computer's speed boost up. As we download, install new or remove our old programs our registries get flooded with useless and often redundant files. This is the biggest clot your system experiences. These may include any .exe file you used to install or maybe some temporary files required during installation like while installing Ms Office. You get rid of these files and not only do you speed it up but it will not hang (unless of spyware) and neither is it hopefully going to crash in future.

These steps are really going to make your computer as if it just appeared to be brought out of its box. And if you really are a novice at your computing and configuration, I prefer you use registry cleaner software that does all the work for you and tweak your computer for better performance.
