How to Speed up your PC

Want a simple way to speed up your PC?

ReadyBoost is a service in windows that can speed up your computer by using storage space on most USB flash drives and flash memory cards. When you plug a ReadyBoost-compatible storage device into your computer, the AutoPlay dialog box gives you the option to use ReadyBoost. If you select this option, you can choose how much memory on the device to use for this purpose.

How to Use

1. Plug a flash drive or flash memory card into your computer.
2. In the Autoplay dialog box, under General options, click Speed up my system.
   
   
   

   
   

3. In the Properties dialog box, click the ReadyBoost tab, and then do one of the following:
   • To turn ReadyBoost off, click Do not use this device.
   • To use the maximum available space on the flash drive or memory card for ReadyBoost, click Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. Windows will leave any files already stored on the device, but it'll use the rest to boost your system speed.
     
   • To use less than the maximum available space on the device for ReadyBoost, click Use this device, and then move the slider to choose the amount of available space on the device you want to use.

  4 .Once you click OK, ReadyBoost will configure the device to use the cache and immediately begin using it

In order to ensure the safety, integrity, and efficiency of the ReadyBoost system, Microsoft has added several safeguards.


To begin with, the data on device is automatically encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard — AES 128. Therefore, if you happen to lose the device, you won’t have to worry about someone getting access to data.

While the operating system will actually work from the cache on the device, all the data in the cache is mirrored on the hard disk. Therefore, if you inadvertently remove the device while it’s in use by ReadyBoost, the operating system will immediately fall back to the cache on the hard disk and pick up right where it left off.
