Removing unused programs
Whenever possible, avoid installing heavy programs as they take up most of your computer's memory and uninstall programs that you rarely use.
Download Portable programs if possible (No installation required) .

Every i should defragment it.
To defragment it you can use the Windows Disk Defragmentation utility.
Go to
Start > All programs > Accessories > System Utilities > Defragmentation utility .For later versions of Windows go to the search field of the start menu and write " Defragment and optimize drives ".
Once the utility is open click on" Optimize "or" Defragment "(It depends on the version of Windows you are using).

Disabling autostart programs
One of the main causes of a slow computer is programs that start automatically when the PC is turned on, programs that require no user action and start running one in the background, often unnoticed.
Background programs can be seen in the notification area of the Windows desktop near the clock.
To disable their automatic start go to "Run" (WIN + R) and type "msconfig", open the "Start" tab to see a list of programs.
For each of them there is a checkbox that, if removed, deactivates the automatic start of the same, without uninstalling them.
Click on " OK "after making your choices and restart your computer.
For later versions of Windows, in the Windows taskbar (the bar below the desktop), do
Right Mouse Button > Task Manager .Click on" More details "and go to the" Start "tab.
If you want to disable a program just click on it and then click "Disable". Finally, click "OK".
Note that the startup impact is displayed next to each program (None , Low, Medium, High) .It is recommended to disable Medium-High impact programs.
Restart your computer to make the changes.
