Turn the Windows 7 Disk Defragmenter Schedule On or Off
the most from PC is always a headache for all PC users – whether he/she
is a pro or amateur. In fact no one knows how to deal with his PC
safely and how to get the best performance from it. But it is true that –
as days passes, your PC is becoming old and side-by-side using its
performance. You have to accept it. You cannot expect that it will keep
you a steady service forever. And sometimes, you need to replace it with
a new one. It's natures law and you cannot deny (although it is a
"Thing" but yet it's true). But you can make some tweaks and follow some
guidelines to make your PC last long and give you a better performance.
