Disk fragmentation is one of the many reasons a computer does not perform as well as before. Although it takes a long time, defragmenting the hard drive is worth the wait. Auslogics Disk Defrag Touch can make this operation faster and more comfortable. Besides its powerful defragmentation capabilities, one of the software's main features is the fact that it supports touch screen monitors. Rather than squinting at a compact interface and looking for certain options in convoluted menus, you can do everything in full screen mode, by touching the screen with your finger.

Auslogics Disk Defrag Touch is distributed as a freeware application, which means that you don't have to pay for it. It works on Windows 7, Win 8 and Win 8.1 and it can be installed in a fast and simple manner. The installer is displayed in full screen mode and once you complete the setup process, the application's options will appear on the same interface right away, without the need to restart anything.

The software is designed for touch screen monitors, but you may control it with a mouse, if you don't have such a monitor. As previously suggested, the user interface is displayed in full screen mode. All important options are placed right in front of you and they are displayed as large tiles, with large icons and fonts.
