1. Run a virus scan. Make sure your computer isn’t infected with malware or viruses which may be slowing it down.
2. Check the computer’s disk space. Delete any unnecessary files and programs that are taking up space.
3. Reduce the number of programs running on startup. Too many programs running in the background can hog resources and slow down your computer.
4. Run a disk defragmenter. This will help to reorganise the way data is stored on your hard drive to make it easier for your computer to access.
5. Increase your RAM. Upgrading your RAM can give your computer a much-needed boost in speed.
6. Update your device drivers. Outdated device drivers can cause problems, so make sure they are all up to date.
7. Install an SSD. Solid State Drives (SSDs) are much faster than traditional hard drives, so installing one can speed up your overall system performance.
