Optimise
When you optimise your computer, you are getting the computer to perform at its best. Over time your computer gradually slows down as you add more information. When you add new programs it will add items to your system. Even if you uninstall programs, not everything is removed from the system. Windows users can do the following to speed up their computers:
- delete temporary files
- clear the history lists
- clean up temporary internet files
- defrag and scandisk the system
If your computer is still running slowly then it may be time to clean up your hard drive, upgrade your memory or buy a new computer.
