Finally, you have made the purchase of a computer you needed for a long time. However, you realize that it will take a long time for you to set it up just the way you like it. Here are a few recommendations for you:
Uninstall unwanted software
This may include program trials, freeware, Microsoft Works (the extremely scaled down version of Microsoft Office), adware, etc. If the computer comes with a 3-month subscription of security software, remove it and install your own security software.
Check for Updates
Run Windows Update to update Windows, and make sure that is set to update automatically. Install security software, check for updates, and turn automatic updates on. Check with the manufacturer of your computer for updated hardware drivers.
Get a USB Easy Transfer Cable
This is a special type of USB cable, in which it is somewhat bulged in the middle, and can transfer files quickly. This usually costs around $20. Hook that up to your old computer, then begin transferring your files. This saves a lot of time, rather than manually reinstalling all your old applications.
