Windows 7: Three Tips for Making It Run Faster

Article Written By: Henry Tuttle

Microsoft's Windows 7 was released in October 2009 to the general public. And, it seems that no sooner than an application or upgrade like this is released that users start clamoring for more. They want to make it run faster, execute smoother; to be able to add this, delete this; etc. Hence, it's no surprise that many are already looking for ways to make Windows 7 run faster.

If this sounds like you, following is how to do exactly that.

Note: The info below assumes that you ve met the minimum hardware requirements for running Windows 7. If you've already installed it and are running it, you're good to go and should have no problems implementing the steps below.

1. Remove Unneeded Programs: While unused/unneeded programs probably won't crash your system, they can slow it down immensely. Most new software is bloated, as in, it comes with a lot of applications that many users will never get around to using or ever have the need to use. So, remove the them. This will free up disk space.

2. Update Drivers/Software: Why do this? To ensure that they are compatible with Windows 7. While you can operate these without making them compatible with this version of Windows, it can slow it down a lot. Think of it like this: if you went on a date with someone you really clicked with, the conversation would probably flow pretty naturally and easily. But, when you re on a date with someone that you re not compatible with, it doesn t mean that you don t talk, it just means that the conversation is a lot more strained – it takes a lot more effort. This is what s happening here. It doesn t mean that your existing software/driver won't work with Windows 7; it just means that your applications take a lot more time to have the conversation. So, make them compatible right off the bat.

3. Fix Registry Problems: The registry system is an integral part of making Windows 7 work properly. Hence, when it has problems, Windows is going to have problems. In fact, many technology experts say that it is one of the largest performance issues with Windows 7. Repairing registry problems can be as simple as using a registry cleaning software. This software will do a thorough sweep of your system's registry, scanning for errors and fixing them. The best part about it is, you don t have to be a technophobe. It will not only clean your registry, it will optimize it so that Windows 7 operates faster.
