Windows 7 Defrag

Hi,

I am looking at defragging my Windows 7 pc. Do people recommend using the in built disk defrag programme?


Can you let me know,

Thanks

Welcome to Seven Forums, wizkid.

I use the built in one, and it seems to work quite well.

Note that there are a load of defraggers out there, some folks prefer one over another, but I really doubt that it makes a dime's worth of difference.

I agree with TheShaft. The only difference you will notice between defraggers is maybe a little bit of speed. More than likely, you will not notice a difference.

If you do want a third-party application, Defraggler is the one that Lifehacker recommends.

i use the default one, it works I dont do tons of data entry on my machine so i find the pay for ones not needed.

It appears Windows 7 has better management for storage anyway, making the need to defrag less often.

The default defragment program for Windows 7 now lets you schedule an automatic launch...before, it had to be started manually.

Yes, that is something I have yet to see in a third-party app.
