Defragmentation isn't going to solve all of your computer problems, no way.

It's just maintenance really. It's not going to make or break your ability to play an entire game.

Should still do it like once a month to keep your computer healthy and provide it with longevity.

Guys, he is not asking about Windows Defrag, he is asking about the one that comes with GameBooster, which just defrags single files.
Same concept, except it targets the game's directory instead of the entire drive.

Don't waste your time defragging a single file or folder. That's like putting a bandaid on a shark bite.

That explains it in terms simple enough for non-technical people.

He's... in the prime of his youth. I forget but somewhere in the mid twenties.

Oh alright, if he was my age I'd feel... stupider than I do now.
