Yeah, it does. Because i install games for my brother we have like 4 and it is slower. But when i uninstall them it goes faster. So yeah it does go slower when you insall games.

yes installing game on any pc or laptop can slow them down to a crawl. this is because the more full your hard disk ges the more it has to search for diffrent items. what i do is install games on a external hard drive then when your done with the game i simply unplug it from my pc and it runs just as fast as if i hadent even been playing on games. you may even be able to install the on a memory stick but i dont know if this works the same.

It depends on how much free memory you have after installations. If you use up all your memory with any program(s), your computer can and will crash due to lack of free space. Either purchase more memory or keep little amounts of games you don't usually use.

setting up the video games shouldn't shrink your overall performance while not working the game. the only exception i will think of of is that in case you used the very final of your not undemanding rigidity area to place in it. If the video games are super in length, you are able to merely attempt defragmenting the rigidity after putting as much as maintain issues so as. in case you don't be conscious of how: initiate > All courses > upload-ons > equipment techniques > Disk Defragmenter sturdy success and luxuriate in the gaming!

Not really, the games don't use memory unless they are in use!

some people think that it will but not really if you are not playing. It is just on your hard drive waiting in anticipation for a double-click

Not if you keep your hard drive defragged and keep it off the Start Menu. Should not affect anything unless your hard drive is too full.

windows indexs everything so the more you have the longer it takes for some things, but 5 or 6 gigs wont make a difference.
