If you’re stuck with an ageing, slow PC don’t rush to dump it – here are a few things you can do to make the best of a bad situation.
BEEN sitting with the same PC for a few years? Chances are it’s just not what it used to be even though its running Windows 10. But fear not – this doesn’t mean you have to fork out big bucks for a new machine. We have a few tricks to try to speed things up.
1 GIVE YOUR PC A SPRING CLEAN
When last did you clear out pics, docs and PDFs you’ll never need again? Hint: start with your Downloads folder. Also go through your Documents, Pictures, Videos and Music folders – the latter two often contain big files. Then head on over to your Recycle Bin and empty that out too.
2 GO A LITTLE DEEPER
There’s a reason Disk Cleanup is still a feature on Windows. The trusty old process finds unwanted junk and files you probably had no idea were there – such as temporary files, offline web pages and installer files. To use it in Windows 10, simply open your Start menu and type Disk Cleanup.
