Instructions
Step 1
First, remove any unused files. Particular attention should be paid to temporary files created when working with Internet applications. Open the list of local drives and go to the properties of the one on which the operating system is installed. From the General menu, click the Disk Cleanup button.
Step 2
After preparing the list of files that can be deleted, select the unnecessary data with checkmarks and click the Ok button. It is recommended to restart the computer before this in order to free the files created for this session to work.
Step 3
Clean up the system registry. If you are not an advanced user, then it is better to use a special utility. Download CCleaner from https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download. Install the program and run it.
Step 4
Go to the "Registry" menu and click the "Search for problems" button. After completing the analysis of the system registry, click the "Fix" button and select the "Fix marked" item in the window that appears. Go to the "Tools" menu and open the "Remove Programs" item. Remove any unused utilities. This will slightly improve the performance of your computer.
Step 5
Proceed to Erase Disc. Highlight the section on which the operating system is installed. In the column "Erase" set the parameter "Only free space", and in the item "Security" - "7 passes". Click the "Erase" button and wait for this process to complete.
Step 6
Increase the size of the paging file. Open the "Advanced system settings" menu, find the "Settings" button in the "Performance" sub-item and click it. Select the "Advanced" tab and click the "Change" button. Set the paging file size metrics, save your changes, and restart your computer.
