One of the best things you can do you help your computer run better is to defragment its hard drive…but how exactly does this help?

Well, when you fill a bucket with water, it fills from the bottom to the top. Your computer’s hard drive fills up in a very different way with programs and other data spread across different locations across the entire drive.  Because of this, a cluttered computer can take longer to find and open files.

The way to fix this is to Defragment your hard drive.

While Windows has a built in tool to do this,  you can also try a free program called defraggler that also has the ability to defragment specific files or an entire hard drive.
