With Windows 10 now well established, it’s easy to forget one snag that not even version 10 has fixed: if you’re using traditional hard disks, they will slow down. It may take a while, you may not have a dramatic crash, but it will happen for sure.
Why will my PC still be slow?
Fact 1: Windows splits up all your files when saving them on your disk and spreads them out randomly.
Fact 2: Your read / write heads have to work very hard to put those pieces back together every time you want to access something.
Result: Slow starts, slow launches, slow everything – and a shorter lifespan for your hard-working disks!
PCs are now being used for longer periods of time. Using them for three to five years is no longer a rarity, especially since Windows 10 has given many older PCs a new lease on life by virtue of its modern operating system. This does, however, also result in a considerable loss of performance because the constant saving and deletion of files dramatically increases fragmentation, which means accessing files takes a whole lot longer. The same applies to the temporary files created by many programs. These clutter up the system and eventually lead to a real slow down we can feel while working daily on a PC.
