How to defragment and Optimize your PC's hard drives

Defragment and Optimize Drives

Only follow this step if you have installed your windows on your HDD or hard disk, If you are using an SSD or Solid State Drive Please Avoid doing this step.

  • So let’s begin
  • Go to start menu and search Defragment and Optimize Drives
  • You will see it on the result,
  • So click on it and this window will open, 
  • Once you are here select your ‘C’ drive or system driver, which you have installed your windows 10 OS on. 
  • Now click on optimize, and 
  • That's it.

If you’re using a conventional hard drive, definitely follow this step, Because Your mechanical drives need defragmentation, because, on a regular hard disk, data is stored in deferent sectors on the platter, and mostly the reading head had to reach to multiple locations on the palter to read a single file,so by doing this optimization.

  • Your hard drive data will sort out and place everything where they belong to.
  • So the read head doesn’t have to move to different locations.
  • To read a single file, may result in faster load times, and better performance.

But in the other hand a solid-state drive doesn’t read or Wright files in a similar manner, because it’s don’t have any moving part inside. We can say, It’s more like a memory card, so it’s not necessary to defrag an SSD if you can avoid it.

  • Also make sure you have defrag all your other drivers, in case you have multiple partitions.
As well as I recommend you to replace your Hard drives with SSDs if you can afford it because SSDs had incredible read and write speeds comparing to your conventional hard drives as well as they can load thing really faster as well.

  • So I think it’s an additional way to gain even more performance. 
  • You can upgrade it to any kind of PC’s
  • Which has the space to accommodate a common Hard Drive.

So i think that's pretty much here, so let's jump to the next step!

There, You have it. Now, Restart your computer and you will see and feel the changes in your computer.
