- Firstly download and install the following free programs. CCleaner, Auslogics Disk Defrag, and Auslogics Registry Defrag. CCleaner and Auslogics disk defrag are free but auslogics registry defrag is only a 30 day free trial which is fine for a one time use.
- Once you have done that close as many programs as possible. This will mean that CCleaner can work more efficiently and quicker as well. You will most likely have to close your Internet browser so it may be a good idea to bookmark this page so you can open it again.
- Firstly open CCleaner and click the "Run Cleaner" button in the bottom right of the program. This will then clean out all of the temporary files and unused folders that build up on your computer over time. Once that has completed click on the "registry" tab on the left of the program and then click scan for issues at the bottom middle of the program. Once it has scanned it will have a list of broken/unneeded registry entries that will be slowing your computer down. Click fix selected issues in the bottom right of the program and then it will ask if you want to back up your registry. Click yes and save the file somewhere that you can access easily such as your documents. Another box will then come up. Click fix selected issues and then you are done with that program.
- Next close CCleaner and open up Auslogics Registry defrag. Click on analyze in the bottom right of the program. It will then scan the registry for fragmented areas which will be slowing the computer down. Once it has done that click on the little "Defrag Now" button that comes up once scanning is complete. The computer will restart and automatically defrag the registry for you. Make sure that you do not switch of the computer during this process. Log back into the computer and then the registry defrag program will come back up. Click finish or just close the program.
- Once you have closed Registry Defrag you now need to open Auslogics Disk Defrag. Once the program is open click on the down arrow that is next to the "defrag" button that is located near the top left of the program and then click "Defrag and Optimize" This part of the process may take a while but it will be well worth it at the end. Little blocks will start to apear on the program that are coloured either green or red. Red is the fragmented parts and green is the non fragmented parts. As the program runs the red will turn to blue which means Defragmented. Once the program has finished you are now ready to enjoy a speedy computer.
- Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your new speedy computer, Jack-O-Bytes
