Once that information has appeared, you can then decide if you'd like to optimize the drive or not -to do so, simply click on the Optimize button and let the process run.
This will run a diagnostic to tell you how fragmented your hard drive is. In that window, click on the drive you want to defragment and then click on the "Analyze" button. Click on that listing- this will launch the "Optimize Drives" window. Once the results appear, you'll see "Defragment and Optimize Drives" as your top search result. In the search bar that appears, type "Defragment and Optimize Drives" and let the system produce search results for that criteria (meaning, don't hit Enter yet). In Windows, click on the Cortana icon (the circle icon in the Taskbar). If you'd like to run it more than that, you can do so by following these steps: Defragging is still an automated task and most installations set it to run once a week (often in the background). That essentially hasn't changed in Windows 10. If you wanted to run it more often, you needed to launch the command manually as before. In Windows 7, that process became an automated scheduled task the operating system performed weekly. In versions of Windows prior to Windows 7, the user had to initiate the process by launching the defrag command manually. The process essentially reorganizes data on your hard drive in a way that compiles and consolidates it into given areas, which in turn allows the system to access it with greater ease and speed. Defragmentation is the equivalent of spring cleaning for Windows. How can I perform a defrag to help speed things up a bit?Ī. I have Windows 10 now and my system is starting to slow down. Q: I remember when I had Windows 7, I would use Disk Defrag to help speed the system up some.
