Computer hardware improves really quickly, and that rate of improvement is increasing all the time. On top of this, software keeps being updated, including internet applications and other essentials that you need to keep using your computer effectively. This means that if you stick to the same hardware and software for a long period, you can quickly find you're being left behind. But there are ways of sprucing up your computer and keeping things in check to make sure you're up to date.
It might sound simple, but a lot of people fall behind on one of the simplest areas of speed being inhibited: updates. The problems here are numerous, but the most obvious is not selecting updates when you need them. There are loads of applications that will prompt you to download the latest version, so it couldn't be easier really: just select the relevant software from the website and go through the installation process. Another problem though is when people download updates with aspects they don't want, without checking. Getting two or more antivirus programs running on one system can cause a lot of processing lag, so keep on top of that.
Divers also need to keep up with the applications you're updating. The problem here is that while many drivers claim to be set to automatic updates, they simply don't get the newest versions when they're supposed to. The best thing to do is check the device manager toolbar, and go through the properties sections of the drivers. In here you'll be able to see the relevant driver information and download updates manually if necessary.
You should also sort out your startup screen to cut down on those annoying load times. The problem here is lots of applications opening automatically on startup as part of their installation package. Go into run and type 'msconfig', find the startup tab, and deselect anything that isn't essential.
So keeping up with the times doesn't necessarily mean buying a new computer every year. Just makes sure you sort things out before they become a problem.
