Some mommy hackers believe in the magic tips "clear the cache", "disable background services", "defragment the disk". We are not. In theory, such tambourine dances increase the performance of a laptop by several percent. We believe that this is not enough for happiness.
Here are 3 ways to speed up your computer, guaranteed and significantly.
- Expand RAM.
Previously, the standard, even for relatively advanced machines, was 4 GB of RAM. Now you need at least 8 GB.
- Transfer the operating system to a solid state drive (SSD).
Leave your hard drive for file storage, and move the OS and programs to a much faster SSD. It sits in place of the CD / DVD drive, so round and shiny media will have to be discarded.
- Clean the laptop from dust and use a cooling pad.
So you can speed up your computer and laptop due to the fact that the processor will not overheat. In case of critical heating, the processor functions are partially turned off to reduce the load on it.
We do not recommend doing all this yourself. Laptops are complex devices that require specialist hands.

How to speed up your computer
- The most drastic way to improve PC performance is to put in a more powerful processor.
Find out the chipset of your motherboard and find an older model compatible with it. It is better that the processor is of the latest generation.
- Expanding RAM is equally important.
To increase the performance of your PC, you need at least 8 GB of RAM. Better yet, 16 GB. In this case, RAM will not become a "bottleneck" for your new processor.
- Install the operating system, programs and games on the SSD.
This is a great way to optimize your PC.
- Buy a better performing graphics card.
This will only speed up your PC in some games. The video card reveals its full potential in conjunction with a powerful processor.
