Why defrag ment your PC?
A good metaphor is to think of your hard drive as a desktop covered with pieces of paper or files. Each time you add or remove files you scatter these pieces of paper around your desktop, so for your PC to find the files that you want it has to look through all of them every time.
By defragmenting your hard drive you do just that, your computer organizes all of its files and thereby makes retrieveing them faster and easier every time.

STEP 1:
STEP 2:
Now just sit back and enjoy the ride. Depending on the size of your hard drive it should take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to finish
