1. Update Operating System and Software: Keep your operating system and software up to date to ensure better performance and security.
2. Uninstall Unused Programs: Uninstalling programs you no longer use can help free up disk space, reduce clutter, and possibly improve performance.
3. Disable Startup Programs: Many programs launch themselves when Windows starts. Disabling unnecessary programs can help speed up the boot process.
4. Clean Up System Junk: Over time, junk files accumulate on your computer. Cleaning up the junk can help improve performance.
5. Defragment Hard Drive: Disk fragmentation leads to slower read/write times, which can cause system lagging. Defragmenting your hard drive can help increase performance.
6. Add More RAM: Adding addition RAM can increase your computer’s performance as it helps the computer process data faster.
7. Replace Your Hard Drive: If your hard drive is old and slow, replacing it with a solid state drive (SSD) can dramatically improve performance.
