10 Easy Steps To Make Your Computer Work Faster

We all know that sinking feeling when your computer decides to slow down and barely function for no real reason.
 

Why is my computer so slow?

There are several reasons why your computer might not be running at it’s optimal speed. Let’s start with what you’ve got running in the background..have a quick look, how many applications do you have open, how many internet windows do you have open? Now, are all of them really necessary? If the answer is no to any of them close them, don’t just x out the window, exit out of the software.
 
Obviously that’s not going to fix the issue completely, but there are it’s a start. The good news is there are a even more easy things you can do to keep your computer healthy and happy, and running at top speed.
 

Here you have few tips on how to get it back up to speed:

1. Uninstall unused programs
2. Automatically delete temporary files
3. Additional storage
4. Update your software
5. Delete files you don’t need.
6. Remove gadgets you don’t use
7. Run a Disk Cleanup.
8. Run a Disk Defragment.
9. Check for any disk errors
10. Use anti Virus Software

Uninstall unused programs

Similar to the way temporary files can clog up the speed of your computer, unused programs can as well. Be honest with yourself, when was the last time you used iBooks or Keynote? In fact, there are probably a slew of programs on your computer that you aren’t even aware of! If you don’t use it, get rid of it.
 
To remove these programs, access the ‘Control Panel>Programs and Features’, scroll through until you come to a software application you no longer require, typically each application should sit next to it’s uninstall icon. Click on it and follow the instructions to remove that piece of software from your computer.
 

Automatically delete temporary files

Temporary files are collected and housed on your hard disk. When you get a build up of these, they can slow your computer down quite dramatically. Just think about how every click, every web page you visit all add up, and what that means for the number of temporary files you’re asking your computer to store. These are easily cleared by going to your ‘Hard Drive’ or ‘My Computer’ and access the ‘Temp’ folder. Anything that’s older than today’s date is safe to delete from the ‘Temp’ folder. Make sure you empty your ‘Recycle Bin’ afterwards as well
