 You don't need to buy a new computer if your computer is running slow. With simple steps, you can speed up your computer and increase its efficiency at work.

 10 ways to speed up a computer and make it work more efficiently 

 We all know how frustrating it can be when our computers run slowly. In today's high-tech world, if you have to wait more than two seconds to download something to your computer, that is a huge waste of time!

 In addition, the loss is greater for companies, as one study in the UK revealed that slow computers cost organizations 5.5 days of lost productivity per person per year.

 Fortunately, there are ways to speed up your computer and run it more efficiently if you find it running slower than it should be.

1.Auto start programs

One of the main reasons computers run slow is to allow programs to run automatically as soon as they start.

Many computers run programs automatically in the background, which uses device memory and slows down the computer.

While some programs, such as antivirus and firewall programs, should be allowed to run automatically, you can close others (such as iTunes or Microsoft Office) until you really need them.

2.Delete or remove programs that you do not use

 Many new computers come with pre-installed software that takes up space and runs processes in the background automatically.

 Go to Control Panel and uninstall the programs you don't need, being careful to keep the ones you need.

3.Clean up hard disk space

 Check the amount of free space on your computer. If you have less than 15% free space, your computer may slow down.

 Delete old programs and files that you don't need or compress some of your files (especially large ones). Note that if your computer is running slowly and the storage space is not full, your operating system may have problems.

4.Save old photos or videos to cloud storage or external drive

 This saves a lot of memory and speeds up the computer significantly. Keeping such files in the cloud or on an external drive is also a great way to back up those old family photos you don't want to lose.

5.Run Disk Cleanup or Repair System

 Your computer creates a lot of temporary files every time you boot and/or use applications.

 These temporary files, such as your Internet history, cookies, and cache, take up a lot of space on your hard disk, further slowing down your system.

 Disk Cleanup/Repair can clean hundreds of megabytes by deleting temporary files, unnecessary system files and even just emptying the recycling bin.

6.Change the power plan to speed up the computer and improve its performance

 Computers have different power plans (usually Balance, Power Saver, and High Performance) to control how the computer uses power.

 Some settings improve battery life by lowering performance, but higher performance will increase the speed and performance of your computer.

 Note that this will only work on the desktop, as setting HighPerformance on your laptop will drain the battery.

7. Install Antivirus, Spyware Scanner, Anti-Malware

 Your computer will be able to run faster if you don't spend time trying to manage bugs and viruses. This step is extra protection to keep your PC safe!

8. Run disk defragmentation to improve hard drive efficiency

 When data is fragmented, your computer has to look for pieces of files that can be spread all over your hard drive.

 Defragmentation will organize your data and free up space so that your computer can access the data faster.

9. Replace the RAM with more memory

RAM is a temporary storage memory that your computer uses to run programs.

 The more programs you use, the more RAM you need; And if you don't have enough, your computer will slow down.

 You can easily add more RAM by purchasing an additional memory stick, but you can also replace or buy completely new RAM if necessary.

10. Update software to speed up your computer and increase its efficiency

Software updates will fix bugs and glitches that are making your PC run slower.

 To check if your current software is up to date on Windows, click the Start button > All Programs > Windows Update > Check for Updates.

On a Mac, go to Apps under the Apple icon menu and click About This Mac.
