🚀 Speed Up Your PC Without Spending a Dime

💡 Tip #1: Clean Up Startup Programs

Your computer might be slow simply because it’s trying to run too many things at once—as soon as it turns on.

Here’s how to fix that:

On Windows:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

• Click the Startup tab

• Right-click and disable anything you don’t need at launch (Spotify, Zoom, etc.)

On macOS:

• Go to System Settings > General > Login Items

• Remove non-essential apps

🧠 Pro Tip: Only keep essential tools like antivirus or your VPN running at startup.

💡 Tip #2: Free Up Space with Built-In Tools

Clogged storage slows down your system. Good news? Windows and macOS both have tools to clean house:

On Windows:

• Go to Settings > System > Storage

• Use Storage Sense to automatically delete junk files

On macOS:

• Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac > Storage > Manage

• Use Recommendations to clear out clutter

Delete old installers, large downloads, duplicate files, and anything in your Recycle Bin or Trash.
