SSD ( solid straight drive)

Do you know that most of the old generation laptops have Hard drive? and this is the point where you have to focus.

First, let me tell you there are to types of storages available for your PC

  • – Hard drive
  • – SSD (Solid straight drive)

Hard drives are used in old generation PC’s and it contains mechanical arm to read and write and it has many moving parts on the other hand SSD doesn’t contain any moving parts that why it is way faster than Hard drive.

So to Upgrade your Storage you can use any of the SSD that is available in the market and if you find it costly then i suggest you to buy 120gb SSD and use it to install Windows and important software and you can add additional Hard drive for storing data like pictures, videos, etc.

  RAM upgrade

RAMRam can also make a difference in boosting your laptop’s speed, most of the software use RAM of your computer to run as a background app, so if you have basic ram sticks like 2 or 4 GB then you can upgrade it to 8 or more as much as your motherboard supports it.

 

4. Check for updates.

Windows update

Do you when a complete release a new version of a software or a new software they mostly update it after some days because after using it for while customers tell them about bugs and give them feedback, so they try to improve it with every update.

You were probably thinking why I am telling you this, there is a big reason behind this think once if a software has a bug then it definitely misbehave and can make your laptop slow or also can create faults, or let’s think if it does have any bugs but the company has released updates so by updating this app it will definitely make it run fast and can come with new features.

 

So just go and check updates for your PC monthly or you can just set it to automatically so that if any update will come it will do it automatically.
