1Disk Cleanup :We must keep our computer system memory clean. This is ensured by using the Disk Cleanup option. We right click the Hard Drives and select properties, and then we click on disk cleanup option. It clears Temporary Internet files, Temporary Folder files and also empties the Recycle Bin. Hence helps to speed up our computer.
2De-fragmentation :Our files are being continuously arranged and re-arranged, sometimes deleted and then stored again. This creates fragmentation of the disk which slows down our computer. Disk De-fragmentation places files in an arranged manner and hence speeds up the system as well.
3Deleting Unwanted Files :The deleting of files which are not required by us anymore helps to speed up our computer as well, since it frees our computer memory of unimportant files.
4Avoid Multitasking :Sometimes opening many applications at the same time might result in the reduction in computer speed which is natural; hence we must try to avoid multitasking as much as possible.
5Free Anti-Virus :Sometimes paid anti-virus applications can slow down our computer speed. This does not happen with free Anti-Virus programs like Avast.
6Virus Free :The presence of virus slows down our PC to a great extent and hence we must ensure that our PC is virus free and remove the quarantine virus files using our anti-virus software.
7Update Programs :We must always update our programs to ensure better speed, as outdated software can slow down our PC. In fact, even the Operating System needs to remain up to date.
8Upgrade Memory :Our computer memory must be upgraded with time. Nowadays a new PC has at least a 4 GB memory installed in them. This works well but not for more than one or two years after which there is a need to upgrade memory.
9Disable Indexing :Search indexing is a method by which our Operating System makes it easier for us to search files, which sometimes might result in loss of speed. Hence disabling such a feature ensures increase in computer speed.
10Recommended Virtual Memory :We can increase PC speed by setting the virtual memory to its recommended state. This option is available in the properties option of My Computer and in Advanced Settings.
11Ready Boost :The use of Ready Boost for windows 7 users adds extra flash memory which is non-volatile, and hence increases the PC speed.
12Repairing Disk :To increase our system speed we must always check for disk errors, which slow down our computer, and repair such errors to increase computer speed.
13Operating System :A newer version of Operating System is at times better than the previous and hence changing to operating system like Windows 10 ensures a decent computer speed.
14Disable Auto-Updates :Automatic Updates in our computer is an in-built feature of the OS which automatically searches for updates and installs it. This feature slows down the PC and hence disabling this feature is an option as well.
