Today we shall be looking at how to maintain
your pc, in a complete sense. That is I will be giving you all a complete guide
to maintaining your pc.
Firstly why is system maintenance necessary?
Just like your body system or car need to be
cared for, your computer needs care also. So it’s like doing the regular oil
change done to a motor car. It even goes beyond this, it helps to free up hard disk
space on your system, get rid of unwanted programs, delete temporary files and
optimize your system.
Now that you know the importance of system
maintenance let’s look at how it can be done. This information am giving to you
is actually what engineers charge you between five and ten thousand naira for.
As we all know the internet is flooded with
tips and advice on PC cleaning. Much of this advice urges you to buy useless
programs that cost hundreds of naira or dollars as the case may be. Look no
further: you can follow the guide and get your PC cleaned without spending any
money whatsoever. I do recommend programs, which have paid upgrades; however, I
am confident these programs, when upgraded, are worth every penny and hundreds
of Windows Guides readers (and I’m sure others) agree with me.
Let’s get right into things; to clean and
maintain your PC you need to apply the following steps:
I.
Create a system restore point to protect you from
unwanted changes.
II.
Backup your data.
III. Keep Windows and
installed software up to date.
IV. Find and remove
malware.
V. Uninstall
unnecessary programs.
VI. Delete
junk/temporary files.
VII. Optimize your
system.
VIII. Defragment your
hard drive.
Recall that in my write-up yesterday, I
treated System Defragmentation. Tomorrow we shall look at number one on this
list i.e. creating a system restore point to protect you from unwanted changes. And so we will continue until we exhaust this topic completely.
