7 easy ways to speed up a slow computer

Business Insider has revealed seven simple techniques that can be used to tackle sluggish computers.

1. Reducing the number of programs that start automatically when the computer is turned on by removing unnecessary programs that use large amounts of main memory from the autostart menu
2. Avoid opening a large number of pages in Internet browsers at the same time.
3. Check your computer regularly for viruses.
4. Restart the computer periodically (at least once every day).
5. Using solid-state storage media (SSD), which reduces the time it takes to run the computer and open most programs to seconds.
6. Use of the ReadyBoost service available in the Windows 10 operating system, which increases the memory of the main computer at the expense of flash memory.
7. Stop using the OneDrive cloud storage model that Microsoft offers its customers, as the constant coordination with the storage service can significantly slow down the operating system.
