After using the computer for some time, some will find that it is running slower and slower. Here, some causes and solutions will be discussed. Please do not miss it if you want to get a faster computer.

 1) Too many installed programs

It is necessary for us to install programs on our computer in order to properly use it. But most of time, some users will blindly install some programs on the computer, without knowing that whether they are needed or not. Sometimes, some programs will be needed only once or automatically start up at windows startup. On the other hand, by default, programs will be installed in C drive. Days by, with the increasing amount of the programs, it will take longer time to start up the computer and other programs, making it desperately slow at startup. So to get a faster computer, please first uninstall some unwanted programs from the computer and disable the program that do not need to automatically run at windows startup. If possible, please try to install some program to other drives, like D, E drive. 

2) Infected by virus

It is common to see that a computer runs slow because of the infection of virus. When the virus infects your system files, it will also search the hard drive for other program so as to infect as many as possible. What is serious, the virus will run before the program and then load into the system, taking up a lot of resources and significantly slowing down the system. Also it will be transmitted to other computers, stealing personal information and eventually crash the computer. So it is appreciated to install some powerful anti-virus programs on the computer and then scan for virus regularly. 

3) No disk defragmentation after long-time usage.

We know that files/folders/programs are always arranged in sequence on the hard disk, but as user often do some remove/delete action, there will be lots of incoherent, fragmented files existing on the hard disk. The more fragmented the computer it, the slower it will be when trying to run it. So to ensure the computer always run at maximum speed, it is necessary to defragment it weekly. It you have never run a disk defragmentation before, try it now. 

In conclusion, thought many aspects will result in a slower computer, we can easily fix or avoid it in our daily life from several sides. To my own experience, a disk defragmentation will be a must-done aspect in order to get a faster computer.
