There is nothing better than getting more for your money – especially when it comes to technology. And with the rapid development of technology and marketing practice, it’s easy to believe that the new is always better.
While many fall for this idea and spend cash on the latest equipment, some persist and invest some money (if needed) as well as a little time and effort into their existing equipment. Do you have any old gadgets?
If you have an old desktop, save a few hundred dollars and fix it as new. Here are seven tips to help you get started, starting with cleaning your computer.
1. Pay attention
Just as your appearance reflects your health, so does your computer. If your screen, keyboard, and ports are dusty and covered with fingerprints or debris, your system may not be in good condition.
When handling hardware, it is essential to use proper computer cleaning products to prevent damage to your equipment.
To clean your screen or camera lens, turn to Windex Electronics Wipes. Anti-static clothing safely removes dust, stains and fingerprints from many electronics, including computer screens, TVs and mobile devices.

A pressurized air can is also a useful tool to help clean up dirt and debris from your desktop port. It is important to note that when you use a can of pressurized air, use straw attachments as directed and always follow the instructions.
2. Clear the mess
The first thing you notice after the computer hardware is the desktop. Is your thumbnail too full? While this makes it easier to locate files, it can be a mountain of chaos if you don’t practice the skills of a particular organization.
If you have a lot of files and programs that you rarely use or use on your desktop, delete them. Just right-click on the application or file and select Delete. The programme will not be removed from your laptop, but the shortcut will be removed from your desktop.
It’s now time to organise the icons. Don’t squander your time dragging icons across the screen. Right-click on the screen (not the icon) and change the name, size, file or date under sorting options. For Mac users, see Apple’s How-To Guide. Now you can arrange your icons in beautiful rows.
3. Don’t leave behind caches and cookies that track your Internet activity, temporary files that your system creates when you visit a website, no matter what browser you use. Regular cleaning of these files will help ensure that your system is running efficiently and securely.
