Improving hard drive performance

Using Disk Defragmenter

As you use the computer, files on the hard drive become fragmented. Disk Defragmenter

consolidates 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. Depending on the size of your hard

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

complete. You may want to set it to run during the night or at another time when you do not need

access to your computer.
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.
