Spring Cleaning ? Don’t forget your computer.

Posted on by

Every year when the weather warms up, we start thinking of all the things we need to do, like pack away winter clothes, and clean out closets — you know Spring Cleaning !  But what about your computer ?  Just like your closet, junk can build up on your computer.  All those files you downloaded to see a joke, or video – they take up space.  All those files you haven’t used in years ? They are just sitting there taking up space, and possibly slowing down your computer.  

Think of your computer like your truck, if it is pulling a camper behind it — doesn’t it take longer to get up the hill, and burn more gas?   Computers are the same way.  If your computer is taking ten minutes to come up when you turn it on – consider checking to see if you have a lot of extra files, videos, or pictures on your computer that you don’t need.  You could burn them to a disc and store them, or a variety of other options.  Don’t forget to let your computer run it’s own clean up programs often, like defragmenting, or virus scan.  These can also clean up your computer and help it to run more quickly and efficently. 

Of course, if you try this and your computer is still slowwwwwwwwww, it could just mean that you have an old truck, I mean computer.  It could be time for an upgrade. For more information on any of your IT Needs in Roanoke, or beyond, email or call us at Spencer Technology Solutions, and let us solve all of your computer problems.
