Have an ancient Gateway? Kept an HP that just won’t run games like it used to? Still use Apple that was in Legally Blonde? To improve performance in your laptop, you need to use certain tools and take certain steps to help you get the most out of your computer. This way your graphics cards will work as well as possible, you will have plenty of memory, and won’t need to install new RAM.
Back Up Everything.
Seriously, back up every single file ever. External hard drives are fairly inexpensive and they have enough space to hold your text files, pictures, music, and anything else you need to keep for work. Once you have everything backed up you can remove unused folders and files from your laptop, which will improve computer performance.
Binge Unnecessary Programs
Do you have a bunch of programs you never use? Some that you’re not even sure why you have them? Delete them. Programs take up a huge amount of space on your computer and can hinder your attempts of improving computer performance. You can also remove startup programs for added space and speed. Since you will never use them again there is no point in having them on your computer.
Clean Up Your Browser
As you update your browser, your toolbar is going to become pretty crowded. You can use programs to remove toolbars or delete them manually. This will keep your browser from slowing down and will make your toolbar a bit easier to traverse. If you have trouble there are several toolbar remover programs or you can simply go to a how-to website like wiki-how and they will be able to show you how to remove Google toolbar or how to remove Bing toolbar.
Stay Organized
The best way to keep your computer clean and running at optimal speeds is to keep up with updates, keep all of your files organized in folders, and only have the programs you need. This will help your computer run smoothly, quickly, and you will not lose important files when it is time to delete unnecessary work. You should also take it to a skilled computer and software technician when anything goes array. While you nerdy teenage nephew knows a lot about computers, you do not want to void the warranty.
