If you are ready to fix computer errors and improve speed, the fastest and easiest technique is to use a Registry cleaner. However, there are alternatives to improving PC performance with a bit of manual work. We will look at some of the techniques you can use to get a quick kick out of your PC. You probably won’t see the same effect as a Registry cleaner, but you can definitely see some nice results. At the end, I will reveal a dirty little secret about PC optimization.

Techniques to boost speed and performance on your PC:

Defrag your hard drive
Defragging your hard drive will make disk access quicker and improve responsiveness of your PC. Files are stored in fragments on your disk. When you defrag, it joins these together. In some cases it can add a great deal of performance.

To defrag your hard drive: Click on Start->Computer. Right-click on the disk you wish to defrag and select “Properties”. Now click on the “Tools” tab and then click on the “Defragment Now” button. This may take a few minutes depending on disk size.

Cleanup Your Disk
We also advise you to run a disk cleanup on a regular basis. You can easily free up disk space and reduce clutter on your computer. To start the disk cleanup utility, click on Start->Computer. Right-click on the disk you want to cleanup and select “Properties”. Now you can click on the “Disk Cleanup” button.

Remove Startup Items
Be careful when performing this step. Do not remove anything you are not sure of. In the quick search box, type in “msconfig”. Click on the Startup tab. From here you can remove programs that you do not want to run on startup. This should improve boot time and reduce CPU usage.

Remove Unwanted Programs
Over time you will install many different programs and applications on your system. It is quite likely that you no longer need a lot of these programs. They are probably just using up disk space, memory and CPU. By removing unwanted programs, you can improve performance and free up a considerable amount of disk space.

There are many other speed tweaks that you can apply directly to the Registry. We don’t generally recommend these unless you are familiar with editing the Registry. Registry editing should be done with extreme caution, because one wrong edit can crash your computer permanently.

But here is a little secret. Now you can fully optimize your PC with a new app. No need for a Registry cleaner, this product does everything. It will do all the manual steps above and a whole lot more. To preview this product and a full review, check out PC Health Advisor review, this is a game changer for PC performance.
