Defragment Hard Drive in Windows

Especially if you use your PC or laptop for both personal and professional purposes, a lot of data accumulates that causes the system to become slow. This is not only annoying, but also unnecessary if you defragment your hard drive regularly.

This is how easy defragmentation is

Defragmenting a hard drive in Windows is not complicated and ensures that the comfort of your device is maintained.

1. Start your Explorer and select the category "This PC".
2. Right-click on the desired hard drive and open the properties.
3. You will now see several options, from which you select "Tool" and then "Optimize".
4. You will now see all available partitions as well as the status of the fragmentation.
5. Select the desired partition and then click "Optimize".
6. Windows now performs the process of defragmentation independently, where the duration of the process depends on the size of the partition.
7. Since the process may well take several hours, it makes sense to perform the defragmentation overnight.
8. If your device is equipped with an HDD hard drive, you can rearrange the boot files and thereby speed up the process.

Preserve the capacities of the system

Speed is an essential aspect when choosing devices. However, if many files are stored on it, then it significantly reduces the speed. Due to this, the hard drive should not only be defragmented regularly, but also the files worth preserving should be backed up on an external medium. Thus, the device is also significantly less loaded.
