My husband is the one who defragments my computer and the one who helps me with my computer problems. This is what he says:

“One helpful way to keep your computer running at its best is to regularly defragment your hard drive’s files. During the course of normal use, contiguous files become scattered across the disk and are separated from their original locations that were all together in one place. This causes the hard drive to work longer and harder to bring up programs or information. “
