Computer Junkies

Summer is our slower time, it is also a great time to bring your laptop or desktop in for standard maintenance. We still diagnose regular pc's for free (Gaming is $50 but that goes toward any labor renderred) and we will give our best recommendations for cleaning, optimizing, upgrades, or if the pc is way out of date - Migration to another unit.

Here is a checklist of good PC maintenance to keep up on:

Weekly
• Run System Updates: Check for and install the latest Windows or macOS operating system patches.
• Manage Storage: Clean out the Recycle Bin and delete large, unnecessary files.
• Clean Peripherals: Wipe down your monitor with a microfiber cloth and clean debris from your keyboard and mouse.
• Backup Data: Ensure your critical files are syncing to an external drive or cloud service (e.g., Backblaze or OneDrive). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Monthly
• Uninstall Unused Programs: Navigate to your settings (Apps/Add or Remove Programs) and remove software you no longer use.
• Browser Maintenance: Clear your web browser cache and cookies to improve browsing speeds.
• Check Startup Programs: Disable non-essential background applications that launch when you turn on your computer to improve boot times.
• Clean Ports & Vents: Use compressed air gently on USB, HDMI, and charging ports, as well as external cooling vents. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Quarterly
• Antivirus Deep Scan: Run a full, in-depth system scan with Windows Defender or your chosen security software.
• Deep Clean Internals: Power down and unplug your desktop. Remove the side casing and use short, careful bursts of compressed air to remove dust from heatsinks and fans.
• Test Your Backups: Verify that you can successfully restore files from your backups.
• Battery & Cable Check: Check physical cords for frays or damage and assess laptop battery health
