How to Rid Your Computer of Dragging

Have you ever wondered why a computer that was previously fast has suddenly become slow? Not only virus or spyware can slow down computer performance, but fragmentation as well. When files become fragmented, it becomes a tedious task for the computer to quickly access files, as they will be scattered all over the drive. To correct this error and improve computer performance, you need to defragment your drive occasionally. The step by step procedures to achieve this is what we shall be talking about in this article.
There are various ways to defragment your drive, but I will show you two ways to go about it. First go to my computer and right click on the drive you want to defragment like c, d, etc. depending on your setup. Let us use drive C as an example, right click on drive c and click on properties. Click on the Tools tab and go Defragment Now. This will take you to the Disk Defragmenter Menu. You can click on Analyze to see if you need to defragment the drive or click on Defragment to start defragmenting. That is step one.
You need fewer clicks to do it the other way. Click on start then right click on my computer and go to manage. This will take you computer management. Go to storage and then Disk Defragmenter. If you want to know if you should defragment or not click on analyze or click on Defragment after selecting the drive you want to defragment. There you have it. I know using a dragging computer can be very frustrating so I hope this article will help you sort that problem as long as it got nothing to do with spyware or virus.
