Simple tips on how to keep your computer running fast once you install Windows 7.
There are few things more annoying to a computer user than a slow system. Especially nowadays with so many functions a PC serves in a person’s daily life,
i.e.: downloading your favorite songs on your iPod; watching movies online; creating business proposals; and storing personal photo albums to name a few.
For many, their lives are literally on their PC – personally and professionally. And, when you get a new operating system like Windows 7, it can make your system more vulnerable to factors that affect its speed.
Following is some advice on how to keep the speed you’re accustomed to (or always wanted) when you install Windows 7.
Use Compatible Software: Windows 7 comes with a complete Suite of software, so this is easy. As a general rule of thumb, always use compatible software when you upgrade your operating system.
AntiVirus: One virus can cause your PC to go haywire. It can cause it to freeze, slow down, delete files, add files, etc. To combat this, a quality anti-virus software is extremely important. Most anti-virus software also has anti-spy, anti-fraud, anti-spam and constant monitoring features as well.
All of this is necessary to keep your PC safe – and fast.
Registry Cleaning Software: This is particularly important for business as their existence depends on being able to communicate quickly and easily with clients.
To understand why registry cleaning software is so important, let’s take a quick look at all the registry does. The registry is the place on your PC which stores information required by Windows to run. This includes everything from software expiration dates, to info on your ports, to your personal theme settings.
In essence, the registry is the heart of a system and “consults” with it every time you run an application.
Large organizations have IT departments that handle system slowdowns. But, a good registry cleaner can make this process more efficient by saving on the number of man hours needed to tackle this problem.
Why/how?
Even though IT technicians are very adept at sorting out even the most complex system problems like removing and repairing viruses, a good registry cleaner helps them to fix these problems quicker. Time is money in a business, and this is a huge time savings for IT operations, which adds directly to the bottom line.
Installing Windows 7: Keep This in Mind to Keep Your System Safe . . . And Fast
Anytime you install a new operating system, be sure to back up your old system first. And always practice good PC security (e.g., installing antiviral software and keeping it updated). These simple steps can eliminate the vast majority of problems that cause slowdowns when you install Windows 7, or any new operating system.
