  • Never install software which is not licensed by a trusted authority.  
  • Never use the automatic password save option because if someone gains access to your system they might steal your data.  
  • Use the power save option when you are not having a charging adapter or when you are away from home.  
  • Take note of what software you are installing in your laptop so that while removing the software you can remove the related applications along with it.  
  • If you are doing any self-repair by watching Do It Yourself YouTube videos, please try to read the comment section and do it at your own risk but it is not recommended.
  • Always replace your old laptop sooner because many online sites give you a good deal when you are exchanging the old laptop which is still in usable condition for a new one.
