Do's and Don'ts in using Computer

1. Don't click on short links
    At least, don't click without doing proper research first. When it comes to bit links, the problem is the final destination is unknown.           
       
2. Don't fill your Hard Drive to capacity
    It is recommended to keep at least 20 percent of the hard drive free. If you are doing a gazillion   things at once on your computer, chances are that you have used up your entire RAM. Once your RAM is used, your computer uses your hard drive as additional RAM. But if your Hard Drive is  full to the brim, this will end up crushing your computer.             
        
3. Don't store anything on your Desktop
    The desktop is not typically backed up, so if the computer crashes then anything on the desktop is   lost.     

4. Do routinely reinstall your operating system
    The nature of the operating system is after 12 to 18 months, Windows is going to slow down and  its going to become less and less efficient. The solution? Reinstalling the operating system.
        
5. Do use the cloud
    The famous cloud is really just the Internet. Storing backup information or files on the internet allows you them from anywhere. So if, worst case scenario, your house burns down, your digital  photos will be safe even though your computer and external hard drive are fried.      
          
6. Do get a solid state drive
    If you want to invest in your computer, considering getting a solid state drive, an alternative to the   traditional spinning had drive. They are expensive but they will make your computer run about   several times faster.          
  
7. Do backup
    Make sure that you either save your files in an area that is backed up or that you back up (copy to    some other PC/media) your files regularly, so that if there is a crash, or theft, you have current   copies of your document.          

   




Other Information:

Disk Defragmentation - Defragmentation is the process of locating the noncontigupous fragments of data into which a computer file may be divided as it is stored on a hard disk, and rearranging the fragments and restoring them into fewer fragments or into the whole file. Defragmentation reduces data access time and allows storage to be used more efficiently.

  2. If every things messed up, and if its hopeless to be organized then I guess it'll be better to be formatted but make sure to secure a backup of important files you need.
