Optimizing your disk on Windows 10 is a fairly simple task, and will only take a few clicks and taps of your keyboard and mouse. Although it’s simple, you should see a huge improvement with some problems.
To start this tutorial, make sure:
• Your computer is on
• You have access to an admin account/password
• You are running Windows 10 (preferably the latest version)
Step 1:
Go to your keyboard. Press the Windows key. Sometimes this will be a blank key but usually has the windows logo. This is how you enter Start, but that’s not what we’re doing today. While holding the windows key down, press R.
(Windows + R)
Step 2
In the previous step, we opened a window that is called “Run”. This has a text input field on it, in that field, type “diskmgmt.msc”. Click enter or OK.
Step 3
You will see a window with all your installed disks. Go to the one labeled “Windows (C)” or “OS (C)”. This is the disk that has windows on it. Right click the previously mentioned disk. That will open a menu. In that, select “Properties”.
Step 4
Inside “Properties”, there should be tabs at the top. Click the tab labeled “Tools”. Inside the tools tab, select “Optimize”, this will open another window, where you will again select your “OS C” or “Windows C” disk, and click the button labeled “Optimize”.
Final Steps
Wait for the percentage to reach 100, then close out all the windows, and restart your PC. You should be good to go! If this doesn’t help, contact me through any of the pages on this website!
