Auslogics Disc Defrag

Auslogics Disk Defrag

Disk Defrag is a vital maintenance tool that will improve your PC's performance by defragmenting and re-arranging files on your disk. This is like what you do when you have kids messing up a house by leaving stuff lying allover the floor and other wrong places. What you do is to set sometime aside to create order. This program does that.

I prefer using Disc Defrag to Windows onboard alternative as I find this faster. The first time you defragment, especially if you have lots of data or large partitions of many dozen or hundred gigabytes, it may take a long time but, if you defragment regularly, like every 2, 3 weeks, it should be much faster.

Once installed, start it and at least select partition/disc "C" (or wherever Windows is installed, normally C) and "Defrag".
