How To Speed Up Your PC

Who doesn't like being fast? Either it is PC, bike, car, mobile or a mind. Well, from now people who are having super slow computers will be able speed up their PCs using this easy guide on which we're going to talk below.

This guide will not make your PC go beyond stock speeds but it is for those who're not even getting stock speed of their PC and are affected by other programs. This is going to be Windows system but for Mac and Linux users we might release another article only on their demands. Well, Enough talk let's start it.

Removing Unwanted Programs

The first thing we got to do is removing the unwanted bulky programs which you do not use. These programs can eat up your PC's memory (RAM), some space in drive and they are also annoying when they pop up several moments. The simple and easy way to remove is to Go to Control Panel >> Programs and Features and there you will get the list of all installed programs. There, you can uninstall a program by right clicking and following next steps. Now, you just have to remove those programs which you do not use. You have to recognize programs on your own but skip Microsoft .Net Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable because these things are necessary for your PC to work effectively.

Viruses, Malware, Adware, Spyware...

Our second step is to remove viruses, malware, adware, spyware and all type of viruses. These are the most nasty things that make the PC slower most of the times. Your PC can be virus affected with many ways such as installing cracked softwares, downloading files from untrusted site, USB devices and many more. To get rid of viruses, it is always recommended to have good Antivirus in your system. But at this situation, it could take really long to install Antivirus and scan your system so we've got to use another method.

There are many free & premium Antivirus Rescue bootable CDs which you can download and buy from the store. I recommend Avast, Avira and AVG. Just download any of their bootable ISO file and make your USB bootable. Then simply boot from USB drive and perform the complete system scan. 

Disable Startup Programs

There are also some programs which are automatically started during the startup of your Windows PC. In order to speed up your PC a bit more, you should disable startup programs only which you do not want to start at that time. In order to disable startup programs, Go to RUN, type "msconfig" and hit Enter. Now a system configuration window will appear in which you have to head into startup tab. Now if you're using Windows 7 and older versions of windows than all the programs which startup at boot time will appear there and can be simply disabled from there but if you're using Windows 8 and newer version of windows you'll be asked to open task manager. Simply, click that link and task manager with startup tab will be opened. Disable unnecessary programs by right clicking and you're good to go.

Close System Tray Programs

Some programs always want to keep running in background just like Skype. Which can also slowdown your PC. So, you should take care of them by looking up system tray programs and if there are any unwanted programs, go ahead and close right away.

Final Touches
