How to speed up your pc...


You can speed up your pc without downloading and installing any utility programs... It's simple, just follow these easy steps... There are three built-in Windows utility programs you can use to speed up your pc... These programs are Disc Cleanup Utility, Check Disk Utility and Disk Defragmenter Utility... Well, to get the most from these, you should know how to use it in orders...

First of all, go to 'My Computer' and right click on your main hard disc drive(usually C:\) and click on 'Properties'... A new window will appear... On the 'General' tab, you should see all of the basic information about that hard disc drive... You should notice that there is a small button(Disc Cleanup) at the 'Capacity' section... It will calculate the space that this utility will be able to free and this will take some time... After that, a new window will appear and check all of the checkboxes in the 'Files to delete:' section... After you checked all the checkboxes, you can click the 'OK' button
(Be careful to not delete any data that you need. For safety precautions, you can view the files which is inside the Recycle Bin by clicking on the 'View Files' button under the 'Descriptions' section)... Then, a confirmation window will appear and you just need to press the 'OK'(Do this only if you want to perform this action)... Disc Cleanup Utility will clean any unnecessary files... This might take some time... After it deleted all the unnecessary files, the window will close automatically... Do this another time for the same hard disc drive... You can do this for all other hard disc drives you have...

The second step of this process is defragmenting your hard disc drives... You can navigate to Disc Defragmenter window by two ways... The first one is by Start Menu... Click Start\Control Panel\*Performance and Maintenance*\Administrative Tools\Computer Management\Storage\Disc Defragmenter... The second one is quite simple... Go to 'My Computer' and right click on your main hard disc drive(usually C:\) and click on 'Properties'... Navigate to 'Tools' tab and under 'Defragmentation' section, click on 'Defragment Now...' button... A new window will appear and all you need to do now is click on 'Defragment' button... This process also take some time to complete... After it is done, you may defragment other hard disc drives...

The last step is the simplest one... Go to 'My Computer' and right click on your main hard disc drive(usually C:\) and click on 'Properties'... Navigate to 'Tools' tab and under 'Error-checking' section, click on 'Check now...' button... A new window will appear... You should check the 'Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors' ... The above one is optional because the result will be same either you check or not... Then, click 'Start'... This process also a time consuming process...

Another altenative
way to improve your pc speed is uninstalling any unused programs...
