What Is Defragmention
Disk fragmentation can slow down your computer and affect its performance. Disk Defragmentation is the process of
consolidating fragmented files on a disk drive into contiguous blocks. When a file is fragmented, the operating system
must search for the data bits that make up the file on different disk areas. It can slow down your computer because the
drive head has to move more to access all the file fragments. Disk defragmentation reorganizes the data on your disk so
that your computer can access it faster.
Step 1. To defragment your disk, open the Start menu and type "defragment". Open Defragment and Optimize Drives.
Step 2. Click on "Disk Defragmenter". If your disk is fragmented, you will see a message - "The disk is fragmented".
Step 5. To defragment your disk, click on "Defragment". It may take a few hours to defragment the disk, so you may want
to do it when not using your computer.
It is often recommended that you defragment your computer's hard drive regularly. Windows includes a built-in disk
defragmenter that can help optimize your drive for better performance. The Windows Disk Defragmenter is a valuable tool
for running your computer smoothly. It consolidates fragmented files and folders on your hard drive to be accessed more
quickly. It can speed up your system's performance, especially if you have many files spread out over the disk. The Disk
Defragmenter is included in all versions of Windows, and it's easy to use.
