How to Make Your Computer Run Faster

July 9, 2021 by BuyDig Team Leave a Comment

There’s nothing more frustrating than a computer running slowly. Before you throw in the towel and purchase a brand new laptop, there are a few things you can do to increase your computer speed.

Clean Up Your Hard Disk
Is your iMac running slowly? Need some help speeding up Windows 10? The first thing that probably comes to mind is that the cause of your computer running slowly is the lack of storage space. Even if you still have some storage space left on your computer, you may still need to delete some old programs and files you don’t need. If you have less than 15% free space on your computer, it will affect the PC speed.

Uninstall Programs Not Used
Pre-installed programs take up a lot of space on your computer effecting the computer speed. You can uninstall programs you don’t need from your control panel when you’re trying to speed up Windows 10 or your iMac is running slowly.

Block Programs from Automatically Running
When programs automatically run in the background, they use your computer’s memory and can be the cause of your computer running slowly. Close unnecessary programs until you actually need them to speed up computer.

Save Pics and Videos Elsewhere
Instead of saving all of your pictures and videos from the past 25 years on your computer, keep them on the cloud or an external hard drive. This will also serve as a nice back up for all those memories.

Defrag Your Disk
Defragmenting your disk will keep your computer from having to search for the fragments of files that could spread through your hard drive. It will organize your data and free up space to allow your computer to access data faster and increase computer speed.

Add More RAM
If you don’t have enough RAM to run all of the programs you use, it can be the cause of your computer running slowly. Add more RAM by using an extra memory stick to increase PC speed.

Update Software
Don’t ignore that reminder when it pops up on your Surface Laptop 3 from Buydig.com. Software updates fix glitches that interfere with speeding up Windows 10.

Don’t Skip Anti-Virus Protection
Besides the added layer of protection having anti-virus protection provides, it can also help speed up your computer. It will spend less time trying to manage bugs and viruses if you have anti-virus and anti-malware installed.

Close Unused Tabs
This is especially helpful if you’re working on a large project and have a multitude of tabs open at the same time. You will speed up your computer if you close the tabs and restart your browser. If you need to get back to work, you can usually restore the previous tabs once you’ve restarted.

Restart Your Computer
When you sit down to begin working on your LG Gram from Buydig.com, if you notice it isn’t responding as fast as you’d like, try restarting your computer. If you’ve left your computer on, background programs take over your computer’s memory. Restarting will speed up the computer by refreshing memory and allowing for updates to install properly speeding up Windows 10.

Organize Icons
Cut down on your RAM usage by categorizing icons into folders. If you’ve organized those icons into folders, your computer will only have to load a few folders instead increasing computer speed.

Try these tips to increase your PC speed. They could speed up your computer preventing you from having to make an unnecessary purchase right now.
