How to clean and speed up my PC for free? If you search the answers on the internet, you will find that many forums will tell you to empty the recycle bin, delete unnecessary files, uninstall unnecessary programs, use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, or turn on Storage Sense, and so on.

In order to fully clean disk and speed up your PC, you need to turn to a professional software. Here, I recommend AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard for you, which is compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP.

Just cleaning up junk files is not enough, we also need to run disk defrag.
