The Best Ways to Speed Up Your Computer - 3 Expert Tips


It is not inevitable that as your computer gets older then it will get slower too. In this article, I'll share with you my top expert tips on the best ways to speed up your computer (I used to work in Tech Support for many years).
Free Up Space on C Drive
Chances are that it is your C drive that contains your installation of Windows.
For Windows to operate quickly, it needs plenty of free space on this drive. If you get to the 2 Gig mark and less then it will suddenly slow to a halt.
Better to free up more space, at least 5 Gigs in my opinion.
Quicker Shutdown
Did you know that you don't necessarily have to wait up to 5 minutes for your computer to shut down? You can shut it down in just 2 seconds if you follow this tip.
When ready, press Ctrl-Alt-Del. This will bring up Task Manager. Now go to "Shutdown" and "Turn Off". As you click "Turn Off", make sure that you are holding down the Ctrl button on your keyboard.
Wiping Tools
Sometimes I notice that my browser is really, really slow. It seems to take the computer 10 seconds to "think" before it responds to my mouse clicks.
When this happens I use the browser options to delete all personal data. But still this is not enough.
So I have also used an "evidence eraser" application. I don't have anything to hide but I find that this gets at those hard to reach places and really speeds up my computer.
These days I just rely on a registry cleaner. These will clean your registry and other parts of your system (just like the evidence eraser), optimize your PC and much, much more. I now consider this to be essential in my computer "toolkit".
