A slow computer can be annoying. Whether your computer is old or new, you can make it faster with some simple steps.

Free Up Disk Space

A full disk can slow down your computer. Try these steps to free up space:

• Uninstall programs you don’t use.
• Delete unneeded files.
• Store large files on an external drive.

Windows users can use Disk Cleanup to remove extra files. Mac users can use About This Mac to manage storage.

Defragment Your Hard Drive

Over time, files on your hard drive become scattered. This makes it harder for your computer to find them. Defragmenting (defragging) helps organize the files, making your computer run faster.

Add More RAM

RAM helps your computer run multiple programs at once. If you don’t have enough RAM, your computer may slow down. You can add more RAM by installing it inside your computer. If unsure, a repair shop can help.

Update Your Drivers

Drivers help your computer use devices like printers and keyboards. Outdated drivers can slow things down. Windows usually updates drivers automatically. If needed, you can update them manually. On Mac, drivers update automatically.

Manage Startup Programs

Too many programs starting when you turn on your computer can slow it down. You can disable unnecessary startup programs in system settings. Be careful not to disable important ones.

Check for Viruses and Spyware

Viruses and malware can make your computer slow. Install antivirus software to find and remove threats. Regular scans help keep your computer safe and fast.
