If you are using windows just go into systems and type defrag in the search box. If you post your system details someone will give you a walk through.

The more recent version Windows (from 7 onwards) shouldn't need defragging anyway because the process is meant to be automatic. I'd be surprised if defragging produces any noticeable speed increase with your laptop.

However the most popular third-party application is definitely the free version of Defraggler and it won't do any harm to give it a go. (That assumes that you laptop hasn't got a solid-state drive, as you should never attempt to defrag an SSD):

Have a quick read here henry. Ignore the adverts and think before downloading fixes that are not microsofts own web links.

A defrag wont speed up your PC (not so you would notice anyway)

I always think people who feel a defrag is going to speed up their PC are getting rather desperate.

There are loads of other things that MAY speed up your PC (assuming it is your PC and not the internet that is slow) but a defrag is not one of them.

download https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download and get rid of unwanted crap (go for the free version)

I agree 100% with VHG.

Incidentally, what Broadband speeds are you getting. You can test with the following link:-

If you still wish to defrag, take a look at this : www.snipca.com/19324
This is a prog called UltraDefrag (7.0). Tried it yesterday and found it really fast in operation. Hope this helps.
