New computers often come preloaded with a list of applications that are rarely used but take up much of the system’s resources. To free up space, delete them. Not sure which apps to delete? Click on the “Start” button and visit the “All Apps” menu to view which apps are on your computer. To uninstall applications you don’t want or use, right-click on the icon and choose the “Delete” option.

#2 Check for Viruses and Spyware

Catching viruses on your PC is next to impossible to avoid. However, with Windows Defender software, it’s simple to find malware that may be causing issues. Additionally, third-party programs are easy to install and detect and remove spyware or viruses.

#3 Look at Your Web Browser

Did you know that the most minor adjustments can often affect the speed of your PC? We’re referring to something as insignificant as the web browser you choose to use. However, the browser you use can actually slow down or speed up the rate at which web pages, videos, and images load. So, if you’re currently unhappy with your browser’s loading speed, consider trying an alternative.

#4 Add More RAM to Your PC

For memory usage, Windows 10 uses less RAM than previous versions—yet, for years, increasing RAM memory has been well known, tried-and-true method. It’s easier and cheaper to add more RAM to desktop computers. Unfortunately, if you have a convertible or detachable laptop, adding more RAM may not be possible. It can even be difficult to add RAM to business and gaming laptops. Not sure how to add RAM? Take your computer to a professional.

#5 Maybe a Startup SSD?

A startup solid-state drive (SSD) can help take the pressure off the processor when your computer boots up. So, if you are someone who likes to run multiple applications at one time or use photo and video editing software, then consider a startup solid-state drive. An SSD can make these programs run smoother and load faster, ultimately giving you a better performance.
