Below are some of the steps that you can take to speed up your computer

  • Reboot – If your computer has not been rebooted recently, make sure to reboot it before following any of the steps below.
  • Background programs – One of the most common reasons for a slow computer are programs running in the background. Open Task Manager and stop any programs that you are not using
  • Delete temp files – As a computer runs programs, temporary files are stored on the hard drive. To do this, open the Start Menu and type %temp% in the Search field. Delete all the files.
  • Free hard drive space
  • Scan for malware
  • Scan for viruses
  • Update Windows software
  • Update your drivers
  • Memory upgrade – If your computer allows, you can upgrade the RAM to make your computer’s performance better.
  • If this does not improve the speed of your computer, there may be some hardware problem and you should get in touch with a computer technician.
