How to speed up your
PC to the topmost level? Nowadays almost everyone was literate in terms of computer
usage but others were not concerned about computer maintenance. Preventing your
computer from risks will have a lot of benefits. An extended lifespan of your
computer will be the best benefit and of course, if your computer was running
smoothly and fast enough, your work can be done a lot faster and easier. These are the factors that can help you to
maximize your computers performace
Firstly, delete
some unnecessary files and programs. Lesser files and programs that the hard
drive contains, the faster performance you can get. According to www.Ehow.com , Windows operating system was
built to index files inside the hard drive for faster searching and
distribution of files. In some other cases, most of us has duplicate files such
as folders, photos, videos, music, etc. that could be a waste on the hard
drive. Furthermore, programs are really concerned in eating the hard disk space.
Sometimes, we used the program for once but never used it again since then.
This could be done by pressing the start menu à
control panel à
programs and features, then you can free up the hard disk space. By the way,
after you deleted some files, the backup for these files are inside the recycle
bin folder. You can permanently delete these files by clicking the tab “empty
recycle bin” or you can do it one by one by right clicking the certain file.
Secondly, run
Microsoft maintenance tools for a healthy hard disk. This could be done by
pressing the start menu à
accessories àsystem
tools. Disk defragmentation is the tool that can compress your hard disk’s
fragmented files for faster indexing and distributing of files. The
defragmentation process not only free up the hard disk space , but also
increase the lifespan of your hard disk. Because hard disks became too main stream
in most computers, this tool has been too helpful to most Microsoft users. This
tool does also the same thing if you have the Solid State Drive or the SSD that
was dedicated in new age computers. According to www.Ehow.com,
not all operating systems doesn’t needed to defragment because the OS
defragment the files itself particularly, the Mac OSx . Disk clean-up is an
another tool that is helpful for clearing up the hard disk space such as junk files.
The wizard mode itself will lead you to the process in clearing up the junk
files, thumbnails, cache, and the other unnecessary files inside your hard
disk. Thus, hard disks were the one that
contains all the OS’s files and others, we must take care of it wisely. By the
way, hard disks were the spinning part of the computer so we must avoid bumps
particularly on laptops because it might cause damage or slow it’s performance.
Lastly,
Download some third party applications such as Anti-virus , registry cleaner,
etc. Anti-virus is the most important application that the computer must have.
It has the ability to prevent virus threats that can corrupt your operating
system that may lead to hardware malfunction. There were some of freeware
anti-viruses such as Microsoft Security Essentials , Avira, etc. Some of the
anti-virus programs needs license codes that you can buy online. Viruses are
the most dangerous thing that may enter your PC anytime, anywhere . There is always
a solution when you notice that the virus was inside your PC; Full or Quick
Scan for threats monthly or better, weekly. The common symptoms when the virus
entered your PC are : lags, it unexpectedly restart on its own, pop-up errors,
sudden notification from anti-virus program , slow boot ,and drastically has a
slow performance. The another thing is the registry cleaner. Programs such as
browsers, etc. enters registry files whenever you installed them .Sometimes, it
leaves registry files when you uninstalled them so it might be the cause for
errors and waste of space in the hard disk. I recommend the freeware program
,Ccleaner registry cleaner. It also removes browsing caches or histories,
program data, etc. You can download it from www.piriform.com
. An another tools from www.Iobit.com , the
one that I use, the Iobit malware fighter and advance system care. These
programs totally protects you PC from all issues or threats but of course, it
has limitations in between freeware and professional version.
Computer maintenance is always a
part of basic computing. We do our work in these computers so we must know on
how to took a care and pay attention. Anytime, computers might give up in
anyways that could spend you a lot of money at high cost. Because computers
particularly in laptops, are the most sensitive compared to other home
appliances, we must know about these basic steps and apply it in safer ways. In
some other kind, most of us use PC’s as the part of our daily lives so spending
more time in usage, the more it gets the tendency to cope viruses, and carry up
hard disk spaces. Applying these steps might help you to prevent your computer
from any damage.
