Faster computer speed — How to fix a slow computer easily and quickly
Nov 25th
Does your computer run too slow right now? Are you eager to have faster computer easily? Here are some tips that you can use to fix a slow computer without paying too much.
Firstly, it is necessary for you to run an anti-virus program to ensure that your computer is not infected by any virus, malware, spyware and other kinds of malicious software for those will take up large amount of Windows resources when running the computer, slowing down the computer speed.
Secondly, please go to check and then remove some unnecessary service. When installing programs on the computer, some will automatically add entries to run at windows startup. Moreover, Windows sometime will automatically start some services that do not need by average PC users, overloading the startup entries and then slowing down the computer. So to fix a slow computer, what you need to do is go to Start and then “run”, type “msconfig” to access Services. Here, you can carefully check for the programs/ services that do not need to run at starting up the computer to get faster computer speed.
Thirdly, regularly maintain the hard drive. There are many ways that you can do to maintain hard drive, but normally, you can effort form the below sides：
1) Uninstall the unwanted programs from the computer on time
2) Run the Disk Cleanup to delete the unnecessary files that are no longer used
3) Run the Error-checking timely
4) Always retain sufficient available hard disk space
5) Defragment the hard disk at scheduled time
With the simple three methods above, you can enjoy faster computer speed all the time. But from a fact study, we know that lots of PC users have never run a disk defragmenter when trying to fix a slow computer. That is not recommended for sometimes a fragmented computer had been the main cause of a slow computer.
If a computer is becoming fragmented because of the disk fragments, thought it is possible for us to read and write the files on the hard disk. But because they are scattered and then located at different places of the hard disk, it will take much longer time to reassemble them together. If we can put different parts of the same file at the same place, things will be opposite.
Considering this, Windows provides us a packaged utility to rearrange the files locating on the hard disk, making them always close together and then easier to get access to. But before running the Disk Defragmenter, it is necessary for you to run a Disk Cleanup to remove some useless files from the computer and then turn off other running programs to make sure that a smoother defragment process.
But no matter what preparation you have done before the disk defragmentation, it will still consume longer time to finish a whole defragment process because of the large hard drive capacity. Take my own experience as an example, it took more than 10 hours to defragment my E drive which is only 18 GB large. So now I prefer to use some professional defrag programs when trying to defragment my computer.
After a lot of research on defrag programs on the website, it is proved that Advanced Defrag is the on of the best defragmenter that can defragment the hard disk and the Windows registry to effectively fix a slow computer to get faster computer speed.

Disk defragmentation — One solution you can not neglect when improving computer speed
Nov 13th
The computer speed is always the number-one thing that is taken into consideration when using the computer. Even though, computer speed is normally determined by the available memory / free space / random access memory (known as RAM), there are some very simple ways such as uninstalling unwanted programs from the computer, adding new RAM to the computer and so on.
But most of the time, lots of PC users will neglect a very important part in trying to improve computer speed, that is, disk defragmentation. Here, we will particularly discuss how this simple action affect the computer speed.
First of all, it is necessary for us to know how disk fragment comes on the computer. We all know that, it is best to locate a same files on a single place of the hard disk like putting all parts of the same tings in the warehouse, but most of the time, this is impossible. So the content will be scattered into different units and then put in multiple places, normally during that gaps between other files. Here come the fragments. With the increasing amount of the fragments on the computer, the computer will become fragmented as days by. Even though it is possible for us to read/write these fragmented files, it will cost more time to reassemble all units of files together and coherently, slowing down the computer. So to improve computer speed, first it is necessary to defragment the computer regularly, making the files on the hard disk always locating in order and easy to be reached.
Normally, we can defragment the computer simply with the assistance of the windows built-in Disk Defragmenter by going through Start ->All Programs -> Accessories-> then System Tools. Here, you can easily select the volume to be defragmented and then first click “Analyze” to begin the analysis to see where it is needed to defragment or not. Basically, a disk defragmentation is needed when the fragment present is larger than 10%. But if you have never run a disk defragmentation before, it is recommended that you directly press Defragment button to begin the defragment process for there must be lots of fragments on the hard disk because of a long-term usage.
But to more effectively improve computer speed, please remember to turn off all other running programs when running a disk defragmentation. It you can boot the computer into safe mode before the disk defragmentation, it will be much better. In this kind of clean background, the defragment process will become more smooth and faster without the interference of other unrelated programs.
But nowadays, with the development of the Internet technology, the capacity of computer hard disk is becoming much larger than ever before. So the traditional Windows built-in disk defragmenter utility is gradually losing its efficiency on doing its job for it always become common that most PC users have to spend several hours to thoroughly defragment the computer. I think that won’t be a pleasant experience to sit there waiting for the whole process without doing nothing.
So here, in order to quickly improve your computer speed, please do not neglect the important role of the disk defragmentation. But to defragment the hard disk, please go to use a professional defrag program, which will help you completely defragment the hard disks within a few minutes because of its advanced defragment algorithm. In my opinion, it will be a perfect choice for you to try Advanced Defrag. It helps you defragment the hard disk, PC registry in schedualed time and provides you a choice to real-time defragment the hard disk. Go to have a try with it and it will return you a completely faster computer which runs like brand-new!

2) Regularly defragment the computer.
We know that after being used for some time, the computer will become fragmented day by day because of the fragmentation on the computer. So a disk defragmentation is necessary to rearrange all parts of the same file locate at only a single place in order to always easier to get access to.
From a questionnaire, we find that lots of computer users are not very satisfied with the built-in derfragmenter provided by Microsoft for it always consume very longer time in thoroughly defragmenting the computer.

Regain faster computer speed— defragment it right now
Oct 28th
No matter what the computer is used for, it will hardly be a pleasant experience to find that it is running slower and slower. So for all pc users, what they expect is to always enjoy a faster computer speed. When noticing a computer is running slower, some will try some very tough methods, trying to regain faster computer speed without knowing that a simple defragmentation will speed it up.
First of all, learn how fragments come.
When storing a file/folder onto the hard disk, it will be first saved in a single continuous place. But if there is not enough available free space for the next storage, the file/folder will be scattered into pieces and located in different place of the hard disk. This will be very remarkable in creating/ deleting files and folders, installing new software, and downloading files from the Internet on the computer. Here come the fragments. Days by, as you delete and move some files/folders from the computer, some free space will be left behind among with some files locating in random.
Second, learn what problems will be caused by fragments.
When the files/folders were scattered, it is still possible for us to read or write them. But when trying to access these files/folders, it will take more time for the hard disk head to reassemble all parts of the files together. Besides, as we all know that, no matter which program, it will frequently write the hard disk for associated data when running. The more fragmented the computer is, the slower speed of the entire computer will be when trying to run it. Besides computer slowdowns at startup/shutdown and accessing files, sometimes it will cause a complete freeze-up or crash of the computer.
Third, learn what a defragmentation will do
Defragmentation is a process to reassemble all parts of a same file/folder to locate in the same place of the hard disk, and attempt to release more available free space for the next storage, hence to avoid the more fragmented of the computer. Therefore, it will be much easier to access the file/folder that we need when necessary, improving computer speed.
So to regain much faster computer speed, it is necessary to defragment the computer regularly. This will not only speed up the computer, but also extend the lifespan of the hard disk.
