Now, this is all debatable, so if you can grant me some breathing space, I would appreciate it.
Here are some key tips:
Keep Software Updated:
Regular updates keep your operating system and software protected against security vulnerabilities and ensure you have the latest features.
Use Strong Passwords:
Create unique, strong passwords for all accounts. Consider using a password manager to store them safely.
Backup Your Data:
Regularly back up important files to avoid losing them due to unexpected issues like crashes or accidents. At My-Tech, we like ensuring you have, (at least), one backup onsite, and one backup offsite.
Install Antivirus Software:
Use antivirus software to protect your computer from malware and other online threats.
Be Careful with Emails and Links:
Avoid clicking on suspicious links or opening unknown email attachments to prevent phishing attacks. Always ensure you slow down and take a moment to review your emails. Things slip through, so be careful.
Organize Files:
Keep your desktop and folders organized for easier access and better performance. It’s often considered best practice not to fill your hard drive past 80%, but with SSD’s (Solid State Disc (100% memory based hard drives)), some people say this isn’t as important as it used to be.
At My-Tech, we’d still like think it is important.
Shut Down Properly:
Always shut down or restart your computer properly to avoid damaging your system. Periodically shutting down your machine releases memory, thus keeping operational aspects of your machine in their best state.
By following these practices, you can ensure your computer runs smoothly and safely.
