Using Disk Defragmenter to Increase Computer Speeds and Performance

This method is a good way of keeping your system at top notch while making it faster at the same time. Disk defragmenter allows your computer to go through a process called defragmentation. Defragmentation works by reducing file system fragmentation in the file system of your computer. It does this by physically moving or grouping files on your hard drive closer while keeping them organized. By separating the big files from the smaller files while keeping it organized your computer can quickly and efficiently find and read files resulting in faster computer performance. So to recap disk defragmenter works by finding scattered files that over time have become moved and basically reorganizes all of your files the best way possible so it's easier for your computer to find and process them when it needs to resulting in a faster pc.

By following these easy steps and waiting for the disk defragmenter to complete you will notice you computer being able to run much smoother then it previous was. This little trick is a great way to get your computer running like it was when you first bought it.

1.)First, click on start and find the my computer icon and right click on it

2.)A drop down box will appear so when it does choose manage

3.)A window called computer management will pop up and from here find the text that says disk defragmenter (under the storage directory) and click on it

4.)Now just select the drive you want to defragment and press defragment (please note this will take some time for it to analyze and then defragment so it's best to use this program when your going to sleep or doing something else away from the computer)

5.)After it is finished select any additional drives you want to defragment and then exit the program.

This is an excellent way to get better performance from your computer because over time files become scattered and misplace making your processor and ram spend more energy and time locating these files. As I mentioned before you should make sure not to start disk defragmenter until your going to sleep or doing doing else. The main reason is boredom because this process can take a long time which depends on how cluttered your hard drive is. So go to sleep and when you wake up hopefully your hard drive will be defragmented and notice big jumps in performance from your computer.
