Since my Mom got a new computer, I had wanted to fix it up and use it for schoolwork. The first thing I did was uninstall adobe, Camtasia, and other unnecessary programs. Once that was finished, I backed up the computer’s Documents Downloads, Pictures, and Videos folders, to a two terabyte drive that I had on my desk. I used the Seagate dashboard as that was the brand of the backup drive.
Once I had finished all of the backing up, I had reset the computer except for the files because this was my Mom’s business computer. I found that the antivirus that was installed used up a ton of disk space and that Adobe programs also took up a lot of disk space. But when it reset, it also removes those programs. Now the computer runs at normal speeds when running small programs like Brave. I think it will last about another two years before it barely runs, and drivers will be outdated.
I can’t believe you got that ‘ol thing to work so well 🙂 But I’m glad it’s getting more use!
