7 Maintaining your computer

It is important to perform regular maintenance to keep your computer in optimal condition. This

chapter provides information about improving the performance of your computer by running tools

such as Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup. It also provides information about updating your

programs and drivers, instructions for cleaning your computer, and tips for traveling with your

computer.

Improving performance

Everyone wants a fast computer and you can drastically improve the performance of your computer

by performing regular maintenance tasks with tools such as Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup.

Also, as your computer gets older, you might consider installing larger drives and adding more

memory.

Handling drives

Observe these precautions when handling drives:

●

When the battery is the only source of power, be sure that the battery is sufficiently charged

before writing to media.

●

Do not type on the keyboard or move the computer while an optical drive is writing to a disc. The

write process is sensitive to vibration.

●

Before you move a computer that is connected to an external hard drive, initiate Sleep and allow

the screen to clear, or properly disconnect the external hard drive.

Using Disk Defragmenter

As you use your computer over time, the files on the hard drive become fragmented. A fragmented

drive means data on your drive is not contiguous (sequential) and, because of this, the hard drive

works harder to locate files, thus slowing down the computer. Disk Defragmenter consolidates (or

physically reorganizes) the fragmented files and folders on the hard drive so that the system can run

more efficiently.

NOTE: It is not necessary to run Disk Defragmenter on solid-state drives.

After you start Disk Defragmenter, it works without supervision. However, depending on the size of

your hard drive and the number of fragmented files, Disk Defragmenter may take more than an hour

to complete.

HP recommends defragmenting your hard drive at least once a month. You may set Disk

Defragmenter to run on a monthly schedule, but you can defragment your computer manually at any

time.

To run Disk Defragmenter:

1. Connect the computer to AC power.

2. From the Start screen, type disk.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
