Laptop Optimization - How to Make Your Computer Run Like New

When your laptop is "optimized' it means that everything has been done to improve its performance. Perhaps you purchased your laptop computer not so long ago and it was running just fine, but now it seems like overnight it's going so much slower than before. This can drive you nuts, but what can you do?

Maintaining the performance of a computer is often overlooked by home users, yet it is vital to keep it running and performing well. Where to begin?


Eliminate any unwanted files, videos, emails, and photos from your computer. You can put your photos on a CD or DVD to keep for later but getting them off your computer is a really good idea. The same thing goes for your emails. I bet there are heaps that you won't look at again. Plus, how many of them have shared photos or cartoons that are still taking up valuable space? Don't forget to empty your trash!
Clean out the temporary files that your system has kept automatically. You may not be aware, but every time you visit a website or open a file, your computer keeps a copy on your hard drive. This can really slow the system down so get rid of them regularly.
When you start your computer, there are programs that are set up to open and run. Not all of these are necessary at start up. If you have unnecessary programs trying to run at the same time when you start your computer, they can take up a lot of your computer performance and therefore can make the start up process very slow.
If you have installed computer programs that you are not using any more, then uninstall them. Executable programs take up a lot of space so if they aren't needed, uninstall them.
After you have deleted your extra files, emails, photos and videos, and uninstalled unnecessary programs, you'll want to have your files reorganized so that your laptop computer will run faster. You do this by 'defragging' your hard drive. This process rearranges all the bits of programs that are scattered on your Hard drive them closer together and makes it easier for your computer to look for them. This creates space on the disk, and you should find that your laptop is running much better.
the main players with slow computers, viruses are. Viruses can easily be in your computer safely, you have a good anti-virus and anti-spyware program to prevent this. Here is your attention only to run an antivirus program on your computer. Not all antivirus programs are compatiblewith each other and this can cause problems as well.

By optimizing your laptop, you can really make it run like new!
