You just have to know the basics in how to make your computer faster.
When using a computer, never open as many programs as possible. It is less than 50 percent that you can manage to use every program that you have opened at one time. Running a program requires memory usage from you RAM and also a work for your processor, so if you run multiple programs at the same time, your computer’s speed slows down to compensate for the programs it is running simultaneously. The computer’s performance lies on managing which programs to open use and properly closing the applications after using.

Cleaning up the registry often saves you from this kind of computer problems and boost up the computer’s speed because the computer can access information on the registry without the clutter blocking it. By doing these steps, any user can boost up computer speed and this can be done in just five minutes.
