Computer maintenance

It is recommended that you perform the following tasks to avoid general computer problems:
  • Provide direct access to a power source, adequate ventilation, and a level surface to place your computer.
  • Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents.
  • Back up your data regularly.
  • Perform a virus scan regularly.
  • Check your computer for errors using SupportAssist and other tools available on your computer.
  • Clean your computer regularly using a soft, dry cloth.
    CAUTION: Using water or other solvents to clean your computer may damage your computer.
  • Ensure that there is enough free space on your device storage. Not having enough free space may result in degraded performance.
  • Enable automatic Microsoft Windows and other software updates to address software issues and improve computer security.
