Acer brand laptop computers are designed to be small,
portable units that are great for logging onto the Internet and checking email
on the go.
As your Acer laptop ages, you may start to notice that it
runs a little more sluggish than it used to. As Acer brand laptops run on the
Windows operating system, luckily there are a few built-in tools that you can
use to boost performance and generally speed up your machine without spending
any additional money.
Use the "Disk Cleanup" tool. This tool is built into all Acer laptop
computers and is accessible by clicking on "Start," then
"Programs," then "Accessories," then "System
Tools."
Disk Cleanup will remove any files left behind by programs
on your Acer laptop computer that are no longer needed.
This can free up valuable hard drive space and generally
give your Acer laptop computer a bit of a performance boost.
Use the "Disk Defragmenter" tool.
As with Disk Cleanup, this tool is built into all Acer laptop
computers and is accessible through the same folder in the "Start"
menu.
Disk Defragmenter physically rearranges the way bytes of
data are stored on your hard drive, making it easier for your operating system
to access pertinent information.
As it will take your computer less time to find the
information you're requesting, your computer will speed up a great deal.
Get anything you can off of your hard drive. In order to
keep the price down, Acer laptop computers tend to come with smaller hard
drives than full sized laptops.
As a result, hard drive space can be very precious.
The more data is stored on a hard drive the longer it will
take your operating system to sort through everything and find the files you're
trying to access.
If you empty any files you don't need onto a
flash drive or external hard drive, you can generally improve the speed of your
Acer laptop computer a great deal.alsoPress windows button and in the
search type msconfig go to startup tab and uncheck those you dont want to
start.
