Laptops can sometimes run a little slow due to certain characteristics. This is especially true when the laptop is running on battery power. This is very inconvenient, especially when fast loading of programs is needed and the laptop is actively used. It is not necessary to purchase additional RAM to speed up the laptop. You just need to properly configure the work of programs and startup.
It is necessary
- Notebook;
- Ccleaner program;
- TuneUp Utilities program;
- the driver disc that you received when you bought your laptop
Instructions
Step 1
Almost all laptop models now run Windows 7 or Windows Vista. These two operating systems use the Aero desktop interface. The operation of the interface uses considerable computer resources. Therefore, it needs to be disabled.
Step 2
To do this, right-click on an empty space on the desktop. A context menu will appear. In it, select the "personalization" command. Topics for selection will be available in the right window. Select "simplified theme" or "classic" from the list of themes. Click on the "save" command.
Step 3
The next way to speed up your laptop is to adjust the startup programs. Very often, many programs can run on a laptop in the background, and the user will not even know about it. These programs run together with Windows. Each such program is in RAM and slows down the speed of the laptop.
Step 4
To control autorun, use the Ccleaner program. There are many free versions of the program on the Internet, but with limited functionality. Anything will do.
Step 5
Start Ccleaner. Open the "Service" tab and select "Startup". In the window that opens, a list of all programs that start with Windows will appear. Uncheck the boxes next to those programs that are not needed. Leave only the most requested applications. For example, an anti-virus application or an email client.
Step 6
Installing drivers for the laptop chipset will also help speed up the performance of your laptop. Many people ignore the installation of this driver, since without it all the functions of the laptop work. Installing this driver will optimize the performance of your laptop.
Step 7
Take the driver disc that you received when you purchased your laptop. Insert the disc into the drive and wait for it to spin up. In the "driver" tab, select the "Chipset drivers" component. The installation will begin, at the end of which you will be prompted to restart your computer. Agree.
Step 8
The next step is to clean the Windows registry. To do this, download and install the TuneUp Utilities program. In the program menu, select the "system optimization" component, then the "registry cleaner" component. The program will remove all unnecessary components that slow down your laptop.
