Hoping that you must have read my earlier post, if you haven’t read it here! So now you know how to extend your laptop’s life in 5 basic steps which are very routine in nature, that is you don’t need any technical support in doing so! Going one step ahead this time this post will concentrate on some very basic technical steps which when taken, will enhance your laptop’s life by another 6 months to 1 year. So lets have a look at these:
Step 1: Clean up your desktop - How many of you have a cluttered desktop? Do you find it difficult to search your files on desktop? If this is the case then you need to cleanup your desktop! Just imagine a room with all your clothes, accessories, footwear littered all over each other, you need to get ready and aren’t able to find what to wear! What do you feel in this situation? Now imagine a room with all the things organized properly, is it hard to find your appropriate clothing in this situation?
I’m sure the second situation is where everyone of us will be very comfortable & hence the same goes for your desktop. A cluttered desktop not only makes it difficult to find for files but it eats a lot of memory too! To clean your desktop, you need to run desktop cleanup wizard:
Right click the desktop → go to arrange icons by → click run cleanup desktop wizard.
This window will only enlist the shortcut items on your desktop & by selecting them; the system won’t delete the items; rather they’ll be moved to another folder where you do not have to see them for now. Click Next & Finish.
Remember: the remaining items you need to delete or move manually. You can create separate folders or move them to My Documents & rearrange accordingly.
Step 2: Disk Cleanup - This program comes with Windows & cleans all the unwanted files safely. To open it follow this path:
Start → All Programs → Accessories → System Tools → Disk Cleanup. Once you click the program following window opens up:
Choose the drive you want to clean & click OK. It’ll take some time to analyze the data; once done click OK & there you go all the unwanted files are deleted. :)
Step 3: Disk Defragmentation - This program arranges your files in a drive in an orderly manner so that the disk & drives work more efficiently. To open this, you follow the path mentioned above, instead click on Disk Defragmenter. Choose the drive & click OK.
P.S: This might take several minutes to few hours, hence carry out this activity when system is not in use.
Apart from the above mentioned 3 steps, you can also try out the below:
- Scan your computer for viruses - make sure you scan your system on time-to-time basis.
- Uninstall Programs you don’t use
- Optimize Start-up Programs
