There are companies in which computers work very slowly.
That causes them situations of chaos due to crashes and reboots, or
considerably delays their tasks due to poor computer performance. If we want to
prevent these situations from occurring on a regular basis, we have to pay
close attention to computer maintenance to improve the speed of computers.
Normally, employers and employees do not have the time or
knowledge necessary for their computer to be kept in perfect condition for use.
This makes it very necessary for some SMEs to use the services of a computer
maintenance company to help them carry out these tasks.
How to improve the speed of your computers
We simply want to recommend some ideas that can be carried
out to improve the speed of your computers.
1. Uninstall programs you don't use
PCs often come with installed programs that we will never
use, or that are just a trial version. Sometimes these programs load directly
at startup , slowing down the startup process. But we must not forget wholly
the programs that we have been installing throughout the life of the computer.
If you want your computer to go faster, enter the
"Control Panel" and go to "Install and uninstall programs."
There you can see what software you have installed and how much it occupies on
your hard drive. Generally, you must be careful and know very well what you
uninstall, since there could be necessary programs but whose name and use you
do not know.
2. Delete temporary files
Prior to performing a hard disk defragmentation, it is
always advisable to delete temporary files, both from the operating system and
the browser. Temporary files are intended to provide information so that the
system has it more readily available. They have an extension called .tmp and
are often hidden.
The elimination of storms can be done in different ways. In
Windows XP it is done from My Computer> Tools> Folder options and>
View. Then we will select "show and see all hidden files and
folders". In Windows 7 the process is similar, but we must do it in safe
boot mode (pressing the F8 key many times before starting the computer). Then
we will follow the same process to show hidden files and delete temporary
files.
In Windows Vista we also have an option that is the
"Disk Cleanup", which can be accessed from Start> Accessories>
System Tools. By doing this we will improve the speed of Windows.
3. Defragment your hard drive
Whenever you record something on your computer's hard drive,
there is a kind of residue left. When you delete that file and add a new one,
it is not technically burned on top of it, but remains on the disk as a hole or
space and continues to write next. This causes the disk to be fragmented when
you have a computer for many years, in which you have saved and deleted
thousands of files.
To defragment your hard drive , you don't have to complicate
your life too much and you don't need very advanced knowledge. This will allow
the opening of files to be carried out much faster, which will increase the
performance of your PC.
If you want to defragment your hard determination in Windows
7, for example, you have to go to "Start"> "All
Programs"> "Accessories"> "System Tools" and>
"Disk Defragmenter". There we will see the degree of fragmentation of
the disk next to the folder (C :). The higher that percentage, the more reason
to defragment. To start, you have to select and hit "defragment
disk".
If you do not want to carry out this process many times,
something highly recommended is to schedule the disk defragmentation every so
often so that it has a constant good performance.
4. Check the security of your Wifi
There are people who complain that their computer is slow,
but the problem comes from browsing the Internet. For some reason, someone has
sneaked into your Wifi and is stealing your bandwidth, so when browsing the
Internet the pages usually take a long time to load and, even when you are not
browsing, you notice that the computer does not work at all as optimally as it
should.
In the Internet Security Office they give you some security
measures that you can apply to protect your Internet connection via Wi-Fi. Now,
if you think there is a security problem with your Internet connection or there
is a Trojan on your computer, we invite you to contact us .
5. Increase RAM (or change processor)
The last step to improve the speed of the computer, and that
already supposes a cost for you, would be to increase the RAM memory of the
computer . RAM memory is like short-term memory, which is used by the computer
to perform temporary operations and actions. When you open a database, it uses
memory. When you browse the Internet, you are using memory. The operating
system itself consumes a part of the memory when it starts up.
Sometimes a solution to free up memory is to do what we have
explained before. Others, change to an operating system that occupies less,
such as Ubuntu, Linux. But if you don't want to change the operating system and
continue using the same programs, it is always a good idea to add memory to the
computer, or buy another computer with a faster processor and at least four
cores
