Happy New Year to You and Your Computer

30/12/2016 By ACOMSDave

End of Year Operations on Your Computer

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017

We all plan to clean our house(?) and make ourselves ready for the New Year; however the same is true for our computers. There are things we should do, or at the very least investigate whether we need to do, and these are:

  • Ensure your applications are up to date
  • Back up our data
  • Ensure our Windows or Apple operating system is up to date
  • Clean temporary files/cache folders
  • Update anti-malware programs and run a full-system scan
  • Uninstall unused applications – but be certain that you don’t need them. If in doubt ask someone who knows.
  • If you have been putting your PC to sleep rather than shutting down and then restarting, then shut it down and restart.
  • Ensure all hardware, where necessary has been upgraded.

Remember a computer only runs well when it has been looked after.

IF IN DOUBT ASK SOMEONE WHO KNOWS FOR ADVICE.

Happy New Year
