How do you care for your new laptops?
Bought a new laptop? Have you got it covered with VDALPH Basic Laptop Care Plan?
It is exciting to explore the features and functionality of your new gadget, be it a laptop, desktop, all in one computer pc or phone etc. We like to test them in different situations, settings, locations, and with various other parameters. What if we told you, that you could make these functions and features last better and be more efficient by doing just a little prep work during the initial stage of usage. This, in turn, will protect your laptop or PC even better than if it were used as it was when purchased.
VDALPH TECH Service Centers can assist you with any additional preparation needed to improve and optimise the performance of your device. During our years of quality laptop repair service, we’ve seen that various issues can be prevented with just a little pre-treatment. Just a bit more care is needed when you first start using your laptop or PC for its protection and efficiency, both in terms of the hardware and software.
We will be sharing a few of the top areas you should pay attention to with your newly purchased gadget to avoid damage and software risks.
Updated Operating System (OS)
- Be it a new laptop, a refurbished laptop, or a second-hand laptop, always get your operating system updated. There is a major chance that the laptop or PC will not have an updated OS. This should be the first update you make with the new device.
- It’s as simple as going to Settings -> Updates and Security -> Check for updates in Windows 10.
- With Apple products, go to the Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Software Updates.
- For Chromebook laptops, if you have a WI-FI connection, updates are automatic.
Security Software Installation and Backup
- We cannot insist enough on how important it is to instal security software on the laptop or desktop as soon as you get it. You need software that prevents cyberattacks, removes threats, and has an anti-theft feature. It is yet another essential for every gadget you own, especially laptops and PCs.
- Now that you have installed a security system, you need a proper backup plan for the computer and its data. Use the automatic backup option that regularly saves all your files.
Removal of Bloatware
- Don’t we all have pre-installed software and applications that we don’t use? Well, that’s “bloatware,” meaning software on the computer that you’ll never use. They just take up your space and resources. Uninstall them if you are certain that you won’t need them.
Power Settings
- Oh, the difficulties of charging your laptop so frequently that it might as well be referred to as a computer! Though new laptops do not have this issue and old laptop batteries can be replaced, what if we told you that you can optimise your battery from the start to make it last longer?
- You can boost your battery by managing display brightness, setting the laptop to sleep or hibernate mode if it is not in use for a certain period to save power.
