How to Boost Performance on Windows? - Free Online Tutorial

Image
In this Topic, we are going to see what are the ways we can boost our system performance and what are the major causes of loosing performance in our windows computer. 1. Disk Defragmentation... (While using Hard Disk Drive, not for SSD) Disk defragmentation is the process of consolidating fragmented data on a volume (such as a hard disk or a storage device) so it will work more efficiently. Fragmentation happens to a volume over time as you save, change, or delete files. The changes that you save to a file are often stored in a different place on the volume than the original file. This doesn't change where the file appears in Windows—only where the bits of information that make up the file are stored on the actual volume. Over time, both the file and the volume itself become fragmented, and your computer slows down as it has to look in different places to open a single file. Disk Defragmenter is a tool that rearranges the data on your volume and reunites fragmented d...

Full OS Backup Using Ghost - Free Online Tutorial

Disk images, in computing, are computer files containing the contents and structure of a disk volume or an entire data storage device, such as a hard disk drive, tape drive, floppy disk, optical disc or USB flash drive. A disk image is usually made by creating a sector-by-sector copy of the source medium, thereby perfectly replicating the structure and contents of a storage device independent of the file system. Depending on the disk image format, a disk image may span one or more computer files. Disk image file formats may be open standards, such as the ISO image format for optical disc images, or proprietary to particular software applications.  As disk images contain the contents of entire disks, they can be huge. Some disk imaging utilities are filesystem-aware and can omit copying unused space from the source media, or compress the disk they represent to reduce storage requirements.  Disk images are used heavily for duplication of optical media including DVDs, Blu...

How to Resize / Split OS Partition using Hiren's Boot CD - Free Online Tutorial

Image
Most of us have issues with the size of C: Drive after using our system for a long period. In some cases, we us a smaller size C: Drive and after installing many software's and games, we will have very small amount of space left on the C: Drive. In this condition, we may think to increase the size of C: Drive by adding some free space from other partitions. But, unfortunately this option is not available in the operating system. So, we need a third party software to do this. In some other cases, we use only single partition with the full size of the hard disk which we use for both OS and personnel files which we got from the manufacturer like this. Most of them are not considering to split the partition and using it as is. But, if we encounter an issue with the OS and if we need to format the system, we will lose all of the personnel data also while formatting. So, to keep our personnel files and to format the OS alone, we need a third party software. So, we are going to ...

How to use Virtual Machines / VMWare / Virtual Box - Free Online Tutorial

Image
A Virtual Machine (VM) is an emulation of a particular computer system. Virtual machines operate based on the computer architecture and functions of a real or hypothetical computer, and their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination of both. Various different kinds of virtual machines exist, each with different functions. System virtual machines (also known as full virtualization VMs) provide a complete substitute for the targeted real machine and a level of functionality required for the execution of a complete operating system. A hypervisor uses native execution to share and manage hardware, allowing multiple different environments, isolated from each other, to be executed on the same physical machine. Modern hypervisors use hardware-assisted virtualization, which provides efficient and full virtualization by using virtualization-specific hardware capabilities, primarily from the host CPUs. Process Virtual Machines are designed to execute a...

User Account Management (Administrator & Standard User) - Free Online Tutorial

Image
There are three different types of accounts to a computer: standard, administrator, and guest. You might wonder what’s the difference between them or what function is limited to each type. Let’s take a look at them one by one: Administrator account: As an administrator, you’re allowed to customize Windows freely; you can make any change to the computer: install or uninstall software and hardware you like, access to all files on the computer, and can also delete, or change other user accounts. It seems like administrator user is the host of the computer, while others are guests. However, it’s more secure to operate the computer using a standard user account than administrator account. Why? Standard account: Using a standard account is more secure than using administrator account. Standard users can only customize their own user account, which means they can’t act on their own to make changes to the computer system, or security of the computer. Once they need to they ...
