Though many things can affect the entire performance of the computer, there are still some easy ways that we can do to make the computer always run at top speed. Here, we will discuss a very simple way that you can do in your daily life to make the computer run at the maximum speed, that is, run a disk defragmentation regularly. 

We know that the computer will always write the hard disk frequently for relating information, no matter what you are doing. When storing some files/folders on the computer, it will first be saved in the same available space. But if there is not enough space for the next storage, the file/folder will be scattered and then located in different places on the hard disk. Also, as you delete and remove the files/folders from the computer, there will be lots of free space left behind among these. Gradually, the disk fragments on the computer will eventually become the main reason for why the computer is running slower and slower. Even though, you are still able to read/write these files/folders, it will take more time for the hard disk head to move too much to access them, which results in the slowdown of the computer, and the shorter lifespan of the hard disk. What is serious, it will sometimes freeze up or crash the computer, which will greatly affect the smooth usage of the computer.

 So it is necessary for you to defragment your hard disk at a period of time for this process will simply rearrange the files/folders locating on the computer, making them only locate on the same place of the computer for quicker sequential access, but not scatter all over the hard disk. To defragment your hard disk, please directly go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenters. Here, you can select the disk that you want to defrag, and then click Analyze to check the hard disk to see whether it is needed to defragment. If so, you can simply click Defragment to begin the defragment process. But if you have never run a disk defrag before, it is recommended that you directly select “Defragment” option to begin the defragment. This will normally optimize the entire PC performance, speed up your computer by as much as 200%. 

So in our daily life, several simple clicks on the disk defragmenter will make the computer run much faster than before. If you are feeling that the computer is running slower and slower, it is time for you to run a disk defrag right now.   

Key words:

run at top speed, maximum speed, disk fragments, defragment your hard disk, optimize PC performance, speed up your computer
