Chromebooks are incredible computing
0:01
devices for many reasons they boot up in
0:04
seconds you don't have to spend all day
0:05
doing updates and they're just simple to
0:08
use they truly take advantage of cloud
0:10
computing and that's why they're so fast
0:11
but if you're not careful your
0:14
Chromebook might start to feel a little
0:16
bit bogged down occasionally so I want
0:18
to go through five quick tips to
0:20
optimize your Chromebook and keep it
0:21
running smooth but before we get into
0:30
those quick tips this video is brought
0:32
to you by Nord VPN we recommend Nord and
0:35
we use Nord VPN because they are awesome
0:37
at what they do they protect your
0:38
browsing whether you're at home or on
0:40
the go if you'd like to learn more about
0:42
them and their services head over to
0:43
Chrome on box comm forward slash Nord
0:46
VPN okay first things first before we
0:49
get into those tips a lot of these have
0:51
been covered in our Chromebook tip
0:53
Tuesday segment that we do here on
0:55
YouTube so if you aren't familiar with
0:57
those we'll make sure to link all those
0:59
videos down in the description okay so
1:00
our first tip is to clean up your
1:02
extensions extensions are essentially
1:05
little pieces of software that can run
1:06
in the Chrome browser to help you be
1:08
more productive a couple that I use
1:10
daily are grammarly bitly and pocket and
1:13
these are great pieces of little
1:15
software but if you're not careful some
1:17
of them might become outdated and when
1:19
they aren't being supported anymore they
1:22
might start to cause issues from slow
1:24
load speeds to maybe even screen
1:26
glitches or all kinds of issues you can
1:28
view all of the extensions that you have
1:30
installed by going into your settings
1:32
and then clicking on extensions over on
1:34
the left side and this will show you all
1:36
of the extensions that you have
1:38
installed in your Chrome browser so
1:41
first of all you need to remove any of
1:42
the extensions that you aren't using and
1:44
then if you're still having issues go
1:47
through and turn on and off each of the
1:49
extensions to figure out which one might
1:51
be the culprit of your issues the next
1:53
step is to clean up your hard drive
1:55
Chromebooks are designed to run in the
1:57
clouds so the hard drives that are on
2:00
most Chromebooks aren't as large as some
2:02
that you might have on a Windows device
2:04
or a Mac and that's because most of your
2:07
files are up in Google Drive or they
2:10
should be so you really should be taking
2:11
full advantage of
2:12
we'll drive so anytime you're importing
2:14
files or importing photos or something
2:17
make sure to add those into the Google
2:19
Drive and don't let them set in your
2:21
downloads folder or on your device
2:23
utilizing Google Drive and moving all of
2:25
those files into the cloud we'll make
2:26
sure that the limited hard drive space
2:28
that you do have isn't clogged up and
2:30
will keep your Chromebook running fast
2:32
okay so our next tip is to set up your
2:35
downloads folder to automatically upload
2:37
to Google Drive so this is a tip that
2:40
we've covered in our chrome book tip
2:41
Tuesday segment and it's one that not a
2:43
lot of people are aware of but by doing
2:45
so essentially anything that you
2:47
download is going to be automatically
2:49
uploaded to Google Drive and it's not
2:51
going to take up any space on your
2:52
Chromebook
2:52
and then also if you're logging in to
2:54
another device or you need to power wash
2:56
your device you don't have to worry
2:57
about any of those files that might be
2:59
stuck in your downloads they're going to
3:00
be automatically uploaded to Google
3:02
Drive this is one of those really useful
3:04
hacks that only takes a couple seconds
3:06
to set up and we recommend that everyone
3:07
does this the first thing you'll need to
3:09
do is actually go into Google Drive and
3:11
create a folder called downloads and
3:13
then you'll go into your settings and
3:14
set that folder as your downloads folder
3:17
for Chrome OS and then you're ready to
3:19
go anytime that you download something
3:21
it's going to be automatically uploaded
3:22
to that folder and not having those
3:23
local files sitting on your device is
3:26
gonna keep your Chromebook running
3:28
smooth the next step is to review and
3:30
uninstall any apps that you aren't using
3:32
if you're like me especially on my phone
3:35
I will sometimes install an app for this
3:37
or that and I will forget about it and
3:40
never go and uninstall it and that's not
3:42
a huge deal on Chrome OS because those
3:45
apps actually aren't taking up any of
3:48
your local resources when they're not
3:50
running but they are still on your
3:53
device so going through there and
3:55
cleaning up those apps and uninstalling
3:57
any of them that you're not using is
3:59
gonna help to optimize your Chromebook
4:01
and make it run faster in the new app
4:03
manager makes this super easy you can go
4:05
into the app manager and see all of
4:07
those apps that you have installed on
4:09
your Chromebook
4:10
and easily uninstall them if you need to
4:13
in the new app manager is really easy to
4:15
get to you just go into your settings
4:16
and then click on apps over there on the
4:18
Left menu and then you can go through
4:20
and click on each app individually and
4:22
uninstall it if you need to in the last
4:24
tip is to
4:25
powerwash your Chromebook if all else
4:28
fails if you're having issues with your
4:29
Chromebook and it's running slow just go
4:31
through a power wash and it's going to
4:33
reset that device back to its factory
4:35
settings and this can be done in your
4:37
settings menu or it can be done from the
4:39
lock screen and we have a Chromebook tip
4:41
Tuesday on that process this is
4:44
something that we do around the office a
4:45
lot as we're testing different devices
4:46
or sharing them around we will just
4:49
power wash them and reset them back to
4:51
factory settings and then hand them up
4:52
to the next person who can login and set
4:54
up that device and if you've made sure
4:56
to set up all of your files in Google
4:58
Drive and set up your downloads folder
5:01
to upload to Google Drive you can
5:03
basically just do a power wash and not
5:04
have to worry about losing any of your
5:05
local files and so if you're having
5:07
issues or if maybe you just want to get
5:09
a fresh install of Chrome OS just go in
5:12
there and do a power wash and it should
5:13
make your Chromebook feel basically
5:15
brand new fresh out of the box so that's
5:16
it there's five quick tips to help you
5:19
optimize your Chromebook I know that
5:21
Chromebooks don't need a whole lot of
5:23
optimizing because they run in the cloud
5:24
and they're already really fast but I
5:27
hope that these five tips can help you
5:29
if you're maybe having issues or if you
5:30
just want to speed up your Chromebook
