    Defrag

    Regardless of what some "experts" think, defragging is highly beneficial to keeping your computer clean from becoming progressively fragmented and slow.

    You can of course use a third party program like Auslogics - https://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/ - defrag is quick.
    I use Auslogics on demand.

    Or let Windows defrag your computer - recommended but slow because it optimises the drive.

    Windows -
    Search - taskbar bottom left - enter "defrag" - click Open.
    Panel shows - you can analyse or defrag=optimise manually.

    To schedule a defrag click Change Settings.
    Enter the details shown on the image - weekly is adequate - click OK - done.
    Windows will now defrag weekly.
