Software Cleanup & Optimization + Hardware Upgrades (RAM/SSD)

Description

Performance degradation often results from cluttered software and outdated hardware. Addressing both offers the best improvement.

Recipe/Instructions

Software Optimization: 1. Uninstall Unused Programs: Remove software you no longer need via the system's control panel or settings. 2. Manage Startup Programs: Disable programs from launching automatically at startup that aren't essential. Use Task Manager (Windows) or System Settings (Mac). 3. Disk Cleanup: Run the operating system's built-in disk cleanup tool to remove temporary files, system junk, and empty the recycle bin. 4. Malware Scan: Run a full system scan with reputable antivirus/antimalware software to remove infections that slow down the system. 5. Update OS & Drivers: Ensure your operating system and hardware drivers (especially graphics drivers) are up-to-date. Hardware Upgrades: 6. Add RAM: If your computer has less than 8GB of RAM (check system information) and supports upgrades, adding more RAM (to 8GB or 16GB) significantly improves multitasking performance. Check compatibility before buying. 7. Replace HDD with SSD: Replacing an old mechanical Hard Disk Drive (HDD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) is often the single most effective upgrade for speeding up boot times, program loading, and overall responsiveness. This involves migrating your OS and data.
