Keep your Windows PC Running Smooth
We invest a lot of expense in our computers and the software. We do not like them running slow. And we do not like taking them to someone to fix.
Computers are not maintenance free.
And there are some things you can do to avoid taking your computer to someone to fix.
Here is a list of eleven things you may be able to do to help your computer run more smoothly.
Give that Old Computer a New Life
You have an old computer, and there is nothing wrong with it except... Microsoft Windows will not update, or websites will not let you do what you need to do.
Here are some options to breath new life into that old computer. Both options are current software without all the Microsoft requirement.
Linux Computers
What is a Linux computer?
I work on Microsoft computers, but I primarily use Linux computers.
Similar to Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac, Linux is an operating system.
I began switching over to Linux several years ago and cannot remember any of my Linux computers crashing.
I get regular notifications about security updates and have a choice of when I want to install the updates.
Not only do I get all the basic office and creative software I need, it is all free.
Sound too good to be true, and want to learn more about Linux computers?
