MSI laptop is slow - what to do?
If your MSI laptop is slow, you can get it up and running again with a few tricks. Here we show you how to do it.
Free MSI laptop from data garbage
Over time, useless file remnants accumulate on your laptop's hard drive. This can slow down your system. With the Windows tool "Disk Cleanup" you can quickly remove the data garbage:
- Click on "Start". Enter "Disk Cleanup" in the search line. Select the search result of the same name.
- Windows will now analyze your partitions. Wait a moment for the program to finish.
- You will then be shown how much storage space you could get from cleaning the disk. Check each entry. Then click on "Clean system files".
- Your laptop's hard drive is now freed from useless files. If this solution helps, you should carry it out more often.
- Alternatively, you can also use the "CCelaner" program.
