Question Posted Wednesday January 13 2010, 11:55 am
I decided to "spring clean" my laptop, after having it for almost a year. Just to speed it up a bit and such.
I can't afford to take it to get it serviced by a computer place, so I'd rather do it myself.
What kind of things should I be doing?
I know clearing out old files, deleting things I don't use and such. But are the any other things I definitely should do to speed it up a bit again and so on?
I don't need tips for external cleaning, I've got that covered.
