1 Clean your hardware regularly

Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on your hardware over time, causing overheating, noise, and damage. To prevent this, you should clean your hardware regularly with a soft cloth, a can of compressed air, or a vacuum cleaner. Make sure you turn off and unplug your device before you start cleaning. You should also avoid touching any sensitive components or using any liquids or chemicals. You can follow the manufacturer's instructions or watch some online tutorials on how to clean your specific hardware.

Regularly update your operating system and drivers, uninstall unnecessary programs, optimize startup applications, run disk cleanup and defragmentation, utilize built-in system maintenance tools, keep adequate free disk space, and consider hardware upgrades if needed for demanding tasks.

It is important to clean the vents and all fans to get rid of dust build ups that cause systems to overheat. You can use canned air or an electronic static free vacuum to remove all the dust.

Maintaining Windows hardware for peak performance involves several technical steps. Regularly update device drivers to ensure compatibility and address security vulnerabilities. Optimize startup programs to reduce boot time. Conduct disk cleanup and defragmentation for efficient storage usage. Monitor system resources using Task Manager to identify and address resource-intensive applications. Implement regular antivirus scans and software updates to enhance security. Proper ventilation and cooling are crucial for preventing hardware overheating. Lastly, create backups and restore points to safeguard data and system configurations.

Reading the above makes me want to weep, using a vacuum cleaner can cause a build up of static electricity which can destroy your computer. I also notice a couple of people saying defragment your hard drive, that’s somewhat out of date, most people will be on SSD’s these days and defragging is not only unnecessary it will also shorten the lifespan of the drive. Keep the fans and vents clean, use compressed air and for most people that will be enough.

2 Update your drivers and firmware

Drivers and firmware are software that control how your hardware interacts with your operating system and other programs. They can affect the performance, stability, and security of your hardware. To ensure that your hardware works properly and efficiently, you should update your drivers and firmware regularly. You can use Windows Update or the Device Manager to check for available updates, or you can visit the manufacturer's website or use a third-party tool to download and install the latest versions. You should also backup your data before updating, in case something goes wrong.

Clean ne was is the first priority and the updating patches files security and network with latest packages so no file encryption will happen and attacks also use original software’s

3 Optimize your hardware settings

Your hardware settings can also influence the performance of your device. You can optimize your hardware settings by adjusting the power options, the disk defragmentation, the virtual memory, and the startup programs. You can access these settings from the Control Panel or the Settings app in Windows. You should choose the power plan that suits your needs, whether you want to save battery life or boost performance. You should also defragment your hard drive regularly, especially if it is not a solid state drive (SSD). You should also increase your virtual memory if you have low RAM, and disable any unnecessary programs that run at startup.
