How to improve computer speed is one of the top questions technicians get asked. There are numerous factors that affect your PC’s performance, and there’s a lot you can do to speed things up. Most of these suggestions would fall under the normal computer maintenance category, but some include optimizing settings and improving the hardware of your machine. Any newer computer should certainly be fast enough for most applications. Older computers will likely require some kind of hardware upgrade. PCTechBytes has put together the following list of tips to help you get the most out of your computer:

Reformat and Reinstall Windows

I know many techs believe this is taking the easy way out. Some of them say if you’re skilled enough, you should be able to reach down into the innards of Windows and grab a handful of PC sludge and yank it out, leaving the current installation intact. Sure, that can be done, with great effort and cost to the end-user. Even if the end-users perform this task themselves, it will take much longer with increased chance of problems than it would have been to simply backup and reinstall Windows.

Optimize Start-up Items and Organize Data

For those who do not want to go the route of re-installing Windows there are alternatives that can help speed things up a little. The first thing to do is go into the Control Panel and uninstall any old programs you know you will never use. Programs you do not use might still be loading into memory when you boot the computer. The second thing to do is run a Disk Cleanup. This is found in the System Tools are of your Start menu. Remove items in the Recycle Bin, old Temp files, and anything else you do not need. This will free up a chunk of hard drive space. The next thing to do after that is run Disk Defragmenter. By removing programs and old files and then re-organizing that data, you have optimized the way your computer accesses data on the drive.

One of the many causes of a computer running extremely slow is that you have very low available disk space on your hard drive. Your hard drive needs to have an adequate amount of free space to allow for temporary files and it must also be able to accommodate your swap file. If your swap file cannot accept temporary files it will result in a slow computer. A swap file is just a file that is stored on your hard drive and it is used to store information that is not being used by your computers RAM (random access memory) at any particular moment.
