New PC, Even Better!

So you have your old computer sitting next to your new one and you want to get started. I have found five steps that will speed up your new computer and help it fit in like the old one.

• Step 1: Backing up your data residing on your old computer with Windows Easy Transfer to an external hard drive. Important data such as your music, pictures, videos, any important documents, maybe your favorites, should be the main ingredients to making your new computer fit in. 
• Step 2:  Try a program called SlimComputer to scan your PC for safe programs that you may want to prevent from starting up or wish to remove. If you like the extra apps sent from the manufactures warehouse then I would recommend skipping this step.
• Step 3: Update your drivers via custom software already installed or by going to the manufactures website, finding the support page and downloading the latest drivers. Believe it or not, they do send out new computers with a driver update soon to come.
• Step 4: A personal favorite, Ninite. This is a website that helps you install a collection of very useful shareware in one swift move. Simply check the box next to the software you want to install and let go of the wheel (Mouse). Ninite is smart enough to know if you need the 32-bit version or 64-bit version of a program.
• Step 5: Use Windows Easy Transfer to load your backed up data onto your new computer and bam you are back in business!
