How to maintain a Computer

5 Ways how to maintain your computer

1.Backup data
At least once a week you should backup your drive. If you’re working on an important project, you can do this daily to ensure your files are securely stored. Backing up your data saves important files in the event of a hard drive failure or system crash. 


2.Run disk cleanup
You can free up disk space on your hard drive by running a disk cleanup. This will clean out temporary files and extra language files as well as delete big attachments and more.


3.Clean your system thoroughly
Every three to six months you should do a thorough cleaning of your entire hardware system. You can do this in a number of ways, including with a computer vacuum. You’ll want to save and close any active files before you unplug your device to begin cleaning.
4.Update Antivirus

Whenever an antivirus software update is available, you should run it that day to remove malware. These updates introduce new software features or make improvements on current ones.
5.Dust your keyboard using Compressed air
Did you know that researchers have found that the average desktop and keyboard is dirtier than a toilet seat? That’s why dusting your keyboard off at least once a week can help maintain it (and reduce health risks). Wipe down your keyboard with a damp lint-free cloth, but be sure not to soak it in water.
