It may be that at times a computer may be affected by a lack of speed. This can be due to different factors, the most common being the presence of software that slows down the user experience. There are several ways to recover the lost speed and one of them is activate hardware acceleration

If our PC is slow and we have tried the methods that we already saw in the past, we can choose to take advantage of the power of the hardware that our machine hides. In this way we have more resources to allocate to applications and that is something we can do by following these steps.
