You buy a computer of the year with high-end features and after a few months you realize that its performance is not being the same as the first few weeks. It frustrates you a lot to know that after having spent so much money you cannot enjoy the agility that your investment deserves. However, this is not necessarily the fault of the team, but of your bad habits of use that have made you fill it with as many unnecessary programs it happened to you by will.
It is responsible for keeping the computer stable while it runs several programs simultaneously. Depending on the extent of said memory, more applications can be executed without affecting performance, but everything has a limit, and when that limit is about to be reached, the problems begin. That is why we must be very careful with what we download, since many times these software can run in the background and take up processing space that end up compromising the operation of the equipment.
Now that you understand that this is the key to keeping your computer healthy at its best, We proceed to teach you some methods to optimize and improve the performance of RAM memory in Windows 7, 8 and 10 operating systems. In addition, we will give you some advice so that you learn how to prevent it from collapsing, since over time it could end up damaging itself due to the excessive abuse of its abilities.
Steps and methods to optimize and improve RAM performance in Windows 10, 8 and 7
There are multiple ways to do this. On the internet you will find many methods that all they do is sell you smoke so that you end up installing software which instead of improving the performance of this component end up affecting it, since they run in the background perennially.
that’s why here we will teach you only to apply the actions that are really worthwhile and are truly necessary to achieve what you propose in this case.

This is one of the most basic and used methods at the time of . In case you didn’t know, each program you run on your computer leaves small files as activity logs so that the system remembers aspects such as sessions or user habits when using them.
In principle they are not heavy at all but after a while there are so many that they end up occupying considerable space in your computer’s RAM memory. When you upgrade your computer, all the junk or cache files that take up a lot of space in your computer are removed, and this is what causes it to run slower.
Next we will show you the steps to follow to clean the RAM memory of your PC:

You just have to wait reboot the system and with the naked eye you can see that the computer works faster than the previous times you turned it on or restarted it.
Defragment your computer
When your computer crashes or has low amount of hard drive memory, It may be because of the way it is organized in it. When you defragment the equipment, all the information is organized again and this in turn speeds up its operation.
Although it may seem complicated, it is not if you follow the steps that we will show you, so you can do it whenever you need it:

- You will select the system disk (mostly the equipment label has the name “C”), and click on “Analyze Disk”.
- After it finishes analyzing the disk, it will show you how fragmented it is so you can proceed and click on “Defragment disk”.
- When completing the operation you will see that your hard drive is already defragmented. Then it is advisable to restart the computer so that it can assimilate the action already done.
update the windows
Another reason why your computer may be running slower is becauseBecause the operating system is outdated or outdated. Therefore, it is recommended to update it whenever necessary. When you allow your system to be in an optimal state for proper functioning.
Next we will show you how to update it step by step in the easiest way for those who are at level zero:

Free RAM with a Script
There are a trick that few people know but that we do because we are true experts. It is about creating a script with a special code to do a ram reset close all unnecessary programs and then restart only those you really need.
To do this you must do the following:
- Go to the desktop, right click, position yourself on “New” and then left click on “Text document”.
- Depending on the Ram memory capacity of your computer you will write one of the following codes:
- MyString(1000000000) if your memory is 2GB
- Mystring (1655000000) if it is from 3GB
- Mystring (2000000000) if it is from 4GB
- Mystring (2655000000) if it is from 5GB
- Mystring (3000000000) if it is from 6GB
- Mystring (4000000000) if it is from 8GB
- Then look for the option “Save as”.
- Then save the file with the name you want and you put the extension .vbe at the end to make it executable.
- After that double click on the remaining file and the script will be executed, closing all the programs you have open at once.
After doing these processes you will notice that your computer will be much more agile than before and you will be able to enjoy it as if you had just taken it out of the box. Our recommendation is that you perform them regularly, at least once a week, and do not wait for your computer to slow down to do so.
