Create Backup Disks. “When you get a computer the very first thing people should do, that they never do, is create the backup disks,†explains Niall Cargill, an IBM certified IT specialist with ten years of experience. Nowadays computers don’t come with back up disks anymore. They come with all the necessary software on it already. When you first turn the computer on it will ask you if you want to create back up disks. “Create those!†says Cargill. “When you first get the computer that is the fastest it will be. If you see it slow down over time and you ever want to clean it up and get it back to where it was new, you’ll have those disks and you can go back to your starting point.â€
