Helpful Guides To Keep Your Computer Running Smoothly
Make a slow PC feel faster
- Restart regularly – Turning it off and on again once in a while clears out small problems.
- Close unused programs – Too many open windows can slow things down.
- Keep it tidy – I can remove unneeded start-up apps that make it drag.
- Upgrades that help – Adding extra memory or a faster drive can make an older computer feel like new.
Stay safe from scams
- Check before you click – Don’t open links or attachments from emails you weren’t expecting.
- Don’t be rushed – Scammers often try to scare you with “urgent” messages. Take your time.
- Hang up politely – If someone phones asking for passwords or money, it’s almost always a scam.
- Ask me – If you’re unsure about a message, you can call or WhatsApp me and I’ll check it for you.
Back up your photos & files
- Use a USB stick – Copy your important pictures and documents to a small portable drive.
- Cloud storage – Services like online drives let you keep a copy safe on the internet.
- Make it a habit – Even once a week is enough to protect memories and important documents.
- Two is safer than one – Having a backup in two different places means you’re extra safe.
Keep your computer cool
- Give it space – Don’t block the vents or fans; let the air flow around it.
- Dust now and then – A gentle clean every few months helps prevent overheating.
- Listen for noise – If it’s suddenly louder, a fan may need checking or cleaning.
Simple password tips
- Use different passwords – Don’t use the same one for everything.
- Keep them safe – Writing them down in a notebook at home is fine, as long as you keep it in a safe place.
- Avoid easy guesses – Try not to use birthdays or “1234.” Even small changes make a big difference.
Extra everyday tips
- Keep software updated – Updates often fix security issues and make things run smoother.
- Shut down at night – It gives your computer a fresh start in the morning.
- Be patient with updates – Don’t switch it off while it’s updating; it usually only takes a few minutes.
