Compaq, an American computer manufacturer, released on Tuesday (13) a set of tips prepared by Camilo Stefanelli, responsible for the company in Europe, to improve performance and increase productivity of laptops that do not have powerful specifications.
Although the recommendation is to make improvements to computer components, such as replacing the HD with an SSD and introducing more RAM memory, for example, some system changes can optimize performance for simple tasks such as document editing and Internet browsing.
The tips should reduce the time it takes to start Windows and make it more efficient when performing some tasks, in addition to extending the life of the equipment. Although these changes result in performance benefits, the company points out that it is not recommended to modify advanced PC settings, as it can cause problems.
“The first step is to have a quality machine and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations, since some interventions should only be carried out by professional technicians. But there are simple operations that can make the experience with a Compaq even more pleasant and long lasting”, highlights Stefanelli. .
1st Optimize startup programs
For more agility when turning on the computer, an important tip is to remove the automatic startup of unnecessary programs – even when installing them, when there is usually a default option to include them in the list of apps that run this way. form. To avoid this mishap, the user just needs to access the “Program Startup” guide and leave only the essentials activated, such as antivirus, video driver and some other software that he/she finds absolutely essential.
2nd Check the ideal memory capacity
In general, it is recommended that every computer has at least 4GB of RAM so that data can be processed at a good speed. If the machine is having difficulties to run more than one program simultaneously or even taking a long time to initialize, a tip is to check this capacity and, if necessary, invest in this component if it is possible to upgrade.
3 Invest in an SSD
SSDs – which in addition to storing data, help to process it – can be considered one of the best ways to boost machine performance and increase system speed without having to invest in a new computer. This component is probably the one that will best resolve bottlenecks and crashes on Windows startup, especially if the operating system is installed on it.
“Users who want to improve their computer’s boot speed should certainly consider installing a solid state drive (SSD), which is very simple to do and significantly improves the overall performance of the machines. For those who are looking for a new machine, even better is to buy one that already comes with this component, like the Compaq notebooks”.
