How to Increase the Performance of your Windows PC or Laptop without using any Software
Well we all use computers and we want our computer to run at its maximum speed. But a month or weak after installing fresh copy of operating system and installing some software's you will see the downfall in your systems performance.
First lets have a look on the factors that causes the slowness of the system.
You may see that the system takes more time to log-in or log-out, taking more time to launch an application, taking more time to load the contents of a folder etc etc. So whatever may be the symptom, the fact is that it just wastes your time and tests your patience.
So what i can do when my computer becomes slow after using for some time?
well lets solve this problem.
- Bunch of junk files from internet and used applications.
- Installed unwanted software's.
- Heavy running background processes.
OK cool. Then how can i increase the performance of my computer ???
Yes i have seen a lot of guys who want to install every software available to them which they don't use at all!
Its cool you want to see how some of the software's work or something like that but all the software's available to you?
Well the reason why am telling you not to install not needed software's is that all software's take memory in your system and they produce junk files. And some of the software's have some background process which check for updates or do some other tasks. So these junk files are gonna take the memory and these background processes are gonna take some processing time. So they are gonna steal the processing time and memory that would have used by the important programs. So if you avoid these not needed software's then all the available resources can be used by our important or rather needed software and hence it works pretty quick.
Well as i told you before that our computer gets a bunch of temporary files when we use internet and software's. So what we can do it we can remove these temporary files manually.
Similarly perform following steps to delete all temporary files.
If you want your computer to perform better and you don't worry about the appearance then you can make your computer setting to best suited for the performance.
Here is the video that i have made which explains all these steps.
