1. Take some time to learn the basics about computers. Buy a copy of "PCs for Dummies" by Dan Gookin for a humorous yet insightful guide to computers. Read through the book for general computer tips and instructions.
2. Pay to have your PC properly set up by a professional. Keep customer service numbers readily available for your operating system and all other programs installed on your computer. Ask a professional for computer tips and guidelines for troubleshooting your PC. Ask your computer retailer if it offers customer support with the computer purchase and their call customer support when you encounter a problem.
3. Install anti-viral, spyware and adware programs on your PC. Prevent a virus, spyware or those incessant pop-up ads from destroying your computer. Find the needed products for purchase online or at a computer retailer near you.
4. Back up your PC files frequently. If disaster strikes, a back-up copy of your files prevents you from losing important personal or business data.
5. Enroll in a local computer user's class. Most people merely use a computer but do not understand how it works. Learn the basics and leave the technical stuff to computer professionals.
