Tips To Make Your Old PC Or Laptop New!!!

Upgrading Hardware

If you’re okay with spending some
money on hardware upgrades, it’s
recommended! However, before you make any changes to your hardware,
you should backup your system
First.

Memory

By adding more memory to your
machine is the easiest way to
enhance performance of an older
machine.

Upgrade graphics card

You can even choose to upgrade its
graphics card to enhance your
computer’s performance, specially
when your motherboard has
integrated graphics. In case, you are unsure of type of expansion slots you have, make use of the utility SIW,
which is available for free.

Hard Drive

By getting a larger and faster hard
drive is another way to enhance the performance of your PC. In most laptops, the hard drive is 4200RPM,
and it is possible to upgrade to a
5400 or 7200RPM drive that should enhance read/write performance.

CPU

If you’re an advanced user, it is
highly recommended that you
upgrade your Desktop CPU in order to improve its performance. You need to find out what CPUs are compatible
with your motherboard and chipset.

Reinstall Windows

After extensive use, Windows OS
starts slowing down. It is likely to
happen even when you do regular
maintenance such as using Disk
Cleanup, defragmentation of your
hard drive, and cleaning of your
system with utilities such as
CCleaner. But, before you reinstall
your OS, you need to ensure that you backup your crucial data!
Use Portable Apps
If you want to avoid installing a
bunch of new software on your old
machine, you might consider taking a look at Portable Apps. You can run these from your USB flash drive and they don’t need any installation. You
can save your data to the flash drive without clogging up your local drive.
Also, you’ll have the additional
benefit of bringing your favorite apps to any machine.

Install a Light Version of Linux
Puppy Linux

If your older laptop is running XP
and doesn’t have the power to run
Windows 7 OS adequately, check out Puppy Linux that can be used to add life to it. It is only 130MB and comfortably runs on any machine from the past 15 years. You just need a Pentium 166MMX CPU and 128MB of RAM as minimum requirement.

DSL Linux

DSL is another light Linux distro
which is small in size and just like
Puppy Linux is possible to from a Live CD, flash drive. You can even install it inside Windows. It is only 50MB in size and can run on machines with 16MB of RAM!

10 keyboard shortcut which are important

Using keyboard shortcuts can greatly
increase your productivity, reduce
repetitive strain, and help keep you
focused. For example, highlighting
text with the keyboard and pressing
Ctrl + C is much faster than taking
your hand from the keyboard,
highlighting the text using the
mouse, clicking copy from the file
menu, and then putting your hand
back in place on the keyboard.
Below are our top 10 keyboard
shortcuts we recommend everyone
memorize and use.

Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert

Copy the highlighted text or selected
item.

Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert

Paste the text or object that's in the
clipboard.

Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y

Undo any change. For example, if
you cut text, pressing this will undo
it. This can also often be pressed
multiple times to undo multiple
changes. Pressing Ctrl + Y would
redo the undo.

Ctrl + F

Open the Find in any program. This
includes your Internet browser to
find text on the current page.

Alt + Tab or Alt + Esc

Quickly switch between open
programs moving forward.

Tip: Press Ctrl + Tab to switch
between tabs in a program.

Tip: Adding the Shift key to Alt +
Tab or Ctrl + Tab will move
backwards. For example, if you are
pressing Alt + Tab and pass the
program you want to switch to, press

Alt + Shift + Tab
to move backwards
to that program.

Tip: Windows Vista and 7 users can
also press the Windows Key + Tab to
switch through open programs in a
full screenshot of the Window.
Ctrl + Back space and Ctrl +
Left or Right arrow
Pressing Ctrl + Backspace will delete
a full word at a time instead of a
single character.
Holding down the Ctrl key while
pressing the left or right arrow will
move the cursor one word at a time
instead of one character at a time. If
you wanted to highlight one word at
a time you can hold down Ctrl +
Shift and then press the left or right
arrow key to move one word at a
time in that direction while
highlighting each word.

Ctrl + S

While working on a document or
other file in almost every program
pressing Ctrl + S will save that file.
This shortcut key should be used
frequently anytime you're working on
anything important.

Ctrl + Home or Ctrl + End

Move the cursor to the beginning or
end of a document.

Ctrl + P

example, the document in Microsoft
Word or the web page in your
Internet browser.
Page Up, Space bar, and Page
Down
Pressing either the page up or page
down key will move that page one
page at a time in that direction.
When browsing the Internet
pressing the space bar will also
move the page down one page at a
time. If you press Shift and the

page at a time.
