How can I speed up my com¬puter with¬out rein¬stalling the oper¬at¬ing sys¬tem and all the pro¬grams?

How can I speed up my com­puter with­out rein­stalling the oper­at­ing sys­tem and all the pro­grams? Fol­low the sim­ple steps below,

1. Hard­ware Upgrade: Oper­at­ing sys­tem and soft­ware per­for­mances are lim­ited by the hard­ware capa­bil­i­ties. Upgrade your hard­ware — RAM, Proces­sor and Hard drive, for a faster computer.

  • For Win­dows Xp (the fol­low­ing hard­ware spec­i­fi­ca­tions are rec­om­mended for a faster com­puter)
    – 1–2 GB of RAM (If you are on bud­get Upgrad­ing RAM alone is enough)
    – Pen­tium III (Dual core)/IV or Celeron M Proces­sor
    – 80 GB Hard drive is suf­fi­cient. More the mer­rier. I have a 500 GB exter­nal Hard disk.
  • For Win­dows Vista and Win­dows 7, the rec­om­men­da­tions are,
    – 3–4 GB of RAM.
    – Pen­tium 4 Dual core or more.
    – 320 GB Hard drive is suf­fi­cient. You can always get an exter­nal Hard disk.

2. Sys­tem main­te­nance and Per­for­mance tweaks:

  • Disk Cleanup Tool:

Run Disk cleanup tool from Start > All pro­grams > Acces­sories > Sys­tem Tools > Disk Cleanup. No need to com­press unused sys­tem files, just cleanup recy­cle bin and tem­po­rary folder. This is will give addi­tional space if you lack enough of it on C: drive, for the page file (Vir­tual mem­ory) to run well.

  • Man­age Desk­top:

Move files and folder from desk­top to other loca­tions, as the files on there will take up mem­ory. Move all the files and fold­ers except the short cut links.

  • Scan Win­dows sys­tem files:

Go to start, Run and then type sfc /scannow. This should start the Sys­tem File check (sfc). This checks for cor­rupted sys­tem files (result­ing from fre­quent new instal­la­tion of pro­grams, viruses and hard disk prob­lems) and replaces with work­ing ver­sions. Run­ning this just once in a while will do.

  • Antivirus and Antispyware/Malware scan:

Sched­ule your antivirus and anti­spy­ware pro­gram to run once in a week. Scan­ning for viruses and spy­wares reg­u­larly will ensure high per­for­mance of your computer.

  • Unin­stalling unneeded pro­grams:

Use your favorite unin­staller or Add or Remove pro­grams from the con­trol panel, and unin­stall the unused or unneeded pro­gram. The whole process won't take more than 1 hr, but its worth it, to keep hard disk com­pact and reg­istry size small. I per­son­ally use Secure Unin­staller, it is much bet­ter than the Add or Remove pro­grams tool as it com­pletely unin­stalls all the traces of the pro­gram (includ­ing reg­istry keys) in a secure and safe way free­ing up reg­istry size as well as hard disk space ensur­ing a speed per­form­ing computer.

  • Turn off Win­dows Theme visual Effects:

Go to, Con­trol Panel > Sys­tem and Main­te­nance > Adjust Effects or Per­for­mance or Con­trol Panel > Sys­tem > Advanced Tab, click on set­tings near Per­for­mance, choose Adjust for best per­for­mance and OK. This should imme­di­ately speed up your computer.

  • Sys­tem start up pro­grams man­age­ment and ser­vices:

I use a tool called Soluto, it lets you turn off unwanted start up pro­grams and back­ground win­dows ser­vices which speeds up boot time and save mem­ory space.

  • Hard disk Defrag­men­ta­tion:

Sched­ul­ing this to run once in a month is good enough. If you have it sched­ule already, then good. Defrag­men­ta­tion tool, com­bines all the frag­mented pieces of hard disk data into con­tin­u­ous block, which makes exe­cut­ing files much faster.

Note: To sched­ule any pro­gram, go to con­trol panel > sched­uled tasks or Task Sched­uler 2.0 and choose the pro­gram from the list and choose the time inter­val over which the task should loop, and that's it.

Hard­ware upgrades along with per­for­mance tweaks with sys­tem main­te­nance should speed up your com­puter to its max!
