Drastically Speed Up Any Computer In 5 Steps

I have been working on computers for years and have put together a simple 5 step process for speeding up pretty much any windows based computer in just a matter of minutes.

These procedures are perfectly safe and will not harm your computer or cause you to lose any data.

Step 1: Cleanup your hard drive. This is number one for a reason folks. So many people just do not cleanup their hard drive and that can really degrade your pc performance. You can goto My Computer, Drive C, Properties, and then click on disk cleanup. You can also download the freeware utility Ccleaner. This free program will cleanup all kinds of useless junk off your pc.

Step 2: Remove unnecessary bells and whistles by disabling some of the visual effects that comes on by default in windows. This will recover a lot of lost resources for running faster instead of making pretty edges around unused icons that you never look at and such.

How to Disable Unneeded Visual Effects:
(Removes the visual effects, and increases computer performance)

1. Click your “Start” button to access the start menu
2. Then right click on “My Computer”
3. Select “Properties”
4. Select the “Advanced” tab
5. Then under the “Performance” tab select “Settings”
6. Click “Adjust for best performance”
7. Save these settings by clicking “OK”

How to disable the Indexing Service:
(Unnecessary default service, disabling will increase your performance)
1. Click your “Start” button to access the start menu
2. Click “My Computer”
3. Under “Hard Disk Drives” right click on your Hard Disk
4. Click “Properties”
5. Uncheck “Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching”
6. Click “Apply”
7. Select “Apply changes to C:\ Subfolder and files” and click “OK”
8. If anything pops up on the screen simply click “Ignore”

Step 3: Uninstall unused software and programs that you don’t really need. Click Start, then Control Panel, Add Remove Programs. Now there will be a list pop up of all the software installed on your computer. Simply uninstall unused programs by clicking the uninstall button beside the unwanted software.

This will help free up hard drive space and help increase your overall system performance.

Step 4: Make sure you have updated to the latest versions of windows for your computer. This is offered totally free by microsoft’s website WindowsUpdate.com. You can also follow the directions below to goto the windows update site.

1. Click “Start”
2. Click “All Programs”
3. Look all the way on top and you’ll find a “Windows Update” or
“Microsoft update” button, then click the icon.

Step 5: For the last step and what is maybe the most important step we need to optimize your computer. This will allow your computer to run at it’s top speed. Your registry contains all the core information that your pc uses to run properly. Windows uses it every time it runs to tell the computer exactly how to handle information with all available hardware and software.

Optimize your computer with a qualified registry cleaner weekly. This will ensure you get top performance. There are many reputable products out there.

You certainly don’t have to use it but I prefer it to others and will use it for this demonstration.
