    How to increase speed of an older computer?

    Computers have been around for ever and a day, and as times change over time technology follows a long. But then you have people who may not adjust as well to the times as the rest of us so my question is to help those people out how do you get you old out dated computer to run faster.

    I know a couple ways to get the ball rolling but nothing really solid, such as you can always add more ram to your computer or you can always upgrade your cpu and you can go from a hard drive to and SSD. But I want to know if you guys have any other options people could try out for a faster pc

    More RAM plus SSD if both can happen you will notice a huge increase in speed. If you can't upgrade any of them, well buy a new computer, sometimes old computers will go beyond upgrading or improving and you just have the let them go. How to increase speed of an older computer?

    The best thing that you can do is to upgrade the specs, add some more ram cpu and ssd , also depends on motherboard because some older motherboards are very limited when it comes to upgrade their specs.

    Either (as you've pointed out) improve the hardware, or run software with lower requirements (including the OS).

    This is a very challenging discussion for me because our desktop is an old one which is running on Windows XP. It is a 32-bit processor with 500 GB of internal disk. In optimizing the computer to gain speed of processing, it will depend on the anti-virus and the setting of it with its updating or the program and virus list. Next is the system disk which would be better if you have 2 hard disks inside, 1 is exclusive for the system and the bigger is for the data. Of course, cleaning the clutter will also help, i.e. erasing the deleted files in the recycle bin.

    Well if you have an old desktop Google first the specs of your motherboard and see what kind of processor can you upgrade to. Then if it's upgradable then change your processor to a faster one, also it's best to add some ram but the smaller the HD the better and faster your old pc would run.

    Upgrade the processor, add some ram and try to limit your HDD. Just remember the bigger the HDD, the slower your PC becomes. Some people are saying to upgrade HDD to SSD but I haven't tried that yet.
