5. Defragment
your
hard
drive.
Since
Windows
stores
files
in
pieces
those
pieces
get
put
in
different
places
of
the
hard
disk
as
you
open
and
save
them
which
leads
to
fragmentation.
To
defragment
check
out
your
Windows
Utilities
menu.

6. Give
your
PC
a
boost.
Many
programs
are
set
to
run
automatically
when
you
boot
up
your
PC.
To
clean
this
up
check
the
settings
on
your
programs
and
applications
to
make
sure
they
aren’t
automatically
running.
