Windows 7, which was said to be the faster operating system by Microsoft, will gradually slow down if being used for some time. If you are using this brand-new operating system, it is necessary to learn how to speed up slow windows 7 to enjoy every day with the computer.

When trying to install this operating system, please see whether your computer meet the below requirements:
1) 1 GHz (gigahertz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
2)1 GB (gigabyte) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
3)16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
4) DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

If your computer configuration meets the above requirements, you can install the Windows 7 operating system without any problem. But when noticing the computer is running slow, you can effort from the aspects below to speed up windows 7.

1) Check your computer to see whether there are many unwanted programs installing on the computer, which will only waste the hard disk space and take up computer memory. If so, please go to Start, All Programs and then Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs to uninstall the unneeded programs,

2) See whether there are too many unnecessary programs that run automatically when starting up Windows 7, which will result in s slow computer. You can go to Start, and then Run, type “msconfig” and press Enter to get into computer Service. Here, please carefully look at the startup list and then uncheck the programs that do not need to run at Windows 7 startup.

3) Clean up the windows registry periodically. It will be very easy for you to download some free registry cleaners for Windows 7 from the Internet, keeping the registry impact forever.
 
4) Regularly defragment the hard disk. Even though Windows 7 is said to be smarter and more efficient, there still disk fragments occur when involving to the allocation of files to free space on a magnetic disk. The more fragments on the hard disk, the more time it will cost when inputting/ outputting the files, significantly slow down the computer. So to effectively speed up Windows 7, a periodical disk defragmentation is necessary.

To defragment Windows 7, it will be very easily to go through Start => All Programs => Accessories => System Tool to select Disk Defragmenter. Here, you can select the volume to be defragmented and the click “Analyze” and then “Defragment” to begin the disk defragmentation. You can select to defragment the volume one by one, and select all simultaneously. But in my opinion, to much faster defragment your Windows 7, it is better to depend on a professional defrag utility like Advanced Defrag rather than use the built-in defragmenter for it consumes too much time in finishing the defragment process.

When experiencing a slow Windows 7, I tried to run a disk defragmentation because of the advice of a computer repairer, but gave up halfway for the slower efficiency of the built-in defragmenter. Finally, I managed to carry out a thorough defragmentation quickly with the assistance of this powerful defrag program, which helps not only defragment the hard disks, but also the windows registry. Now I have passed the 7-day free trial period and registered a full version of Advanced Defrag in order to real-time defragment my Windows 7. So if you are annoyed to spend hours on defragmenting your computer, try this one. It will help you get the job finished in a few minutes.

As you can see that there are many aspects that you can do to speed up Windows 7, but please do not belittle the powerful function of a simple disk defragmentation when trying to speed up your slow Windows 7.
