Simple Steps to Make your PC Run Faster
Contributed by Hossien Dakkak, Helpdesk Manager

Let’s start off with something fairly simple, but very important. Keeping your PC running at its optimum efficiency will reduce your waiting time and frustration!

1. Free up disk space. Use Disk Clean Up to delete temporary internet files, empty recycle bin, remove Windows temporary files, remove programs you no longer use, etc.

2. Use the Defrag tool. This moves your data around to open up large sections of space.

3. Find and repair disk errors by running the Error Checking utility.

4. Add an external hard drive. At work, most of our files are stored on a server. Home computers, however, are generally full of pictures and music. Storing these files on an external hard drive will free up your disk space and make your pc run faster.

5. Get rid of spyware. Your anti virus should be protecting you against this – ensure you have anti virus!
