Many computer users complain that their computer is becoming slower and slower. In fact, it is caused by too many fragments and junk files in your computer. When your computer writes data on your hard drive, it can’t be able to place all of the data together. A section of a file might be written near the beginning of the disk, the rest of that file could be written near the end. This causes programs to run slowly, as the computer spends time retrieving the file fragments from all over the disk.

Defragmenting your disk volume and arranging files in an orderly manner will reduce the time taken to read a file. There are various tools available to defragment the computer. Here are some methods for defragmenting your Windows computer.

Method A:

• Open the Control Panel.
• Open “System and Security”.
• Click on “Defragment Your Hard Drive”.
• Select a drive to analyze. For example, the “C:” drive.
• Click “Analyze Disk”.

Note that the time it takes to do the defragmentation is dependent on the size of the volume and the amount of fragmentation. While you can continue to work while the defragmentation tool is running, the system response will be slow. You can start up a defragmentation before you sleep and let it run overnight.

If you need to work after the defragmentation has begun and you cannot tolerate the poor performance, pause or stop the defragmentation process.
