Tips for Speeding Up Your PC

9:09 am How to Work Better

I recently read an article in a Guardian & Observer supplement entitled ‘Speed up a PC,’ that advised how to clean out old, unwanted files on your PC, as well as reducing the number of applications loaded at start up and tidying up your hard drive.

I never knew how to do this; I have so many bits of rubbish that I don’t use each day that start up when I start up my PC that it seems to take forever to get going in the morning.  It was really easy to do!

Now, my PC starts up and is ready to go even before the kettle has boiled.

The software I used to clean up my PC is available through Piriform and they created the application CCleaner, which you can get here.  They also have a defragger available, which removes the gaps on your harddrive and puts all your files in order.  A bit like a super-duper VA!

I’d highly recommend that you clean up your PC every couple of months.
