The first thing to learn is how to reinstall the system; for example, when there are problems or a virus is downloaded, and nothing else can solve the issue, reinstalling the system is the most straightforward – and also the last – solution. Antivirus software is available everywhere these days, so it’s quite rare for a computer to become infected and become unusable. So, one should first learn how to reinstall operating systems such as XP, Win7, and Win10. It seems that Win10 is quite user-friendly; its official 10-second startup time is really impressive, whereas the laptop I’m using now takes 12 seconds to start up. There are many ways to install a system, and nowadays the user-friendly methods are very simple – just click on setup, which is similar to installing software. After installing the system, there’s no need to rush to install software; first install the drivers, and then install the software. Speaking of software, installation packages for commonly used software are always available; they can be shared with others, and new versions can be installed quickly in case the software crashes. There are also many software managers these days, but after all they are just small programs that work fine for everyday use. When encountering less common software, I have a few methods of my own. First of all, Baidu is of course an option. These days, many websites go to great lengths in order to display advertisements; if you want to download software, you first need to download an .exe file. After opening it, various bundled games and other programs appear, and although you can eventually install the software you need, there will be many additional bundled programs. In fact, remember to uncheck all the unnecessary options when opening the file, which will also help achieve your goal. Secondly, various cloud storage services nowadays provide excellent conditions for sharing; for example, when browsing forums on a daily basis, using cloud storage to share things is simple and quick. Of course, various cloud storage search websites are also very useful; whenever you need a certain resource, just do a search and the sharing link will appear (be careful of viruses – run antivirus software on the file after downloading it). Finally, there are professional software and tutorials available; Taobao is also extremely useful, offering resources for almost anything you can imagine. Some of these items can be purchased for just a few cents from resellers, and some sellers are even willing to provide remote assistance and guidance for installation, which is really helpful. Finally, let’s talk about daily use. A good habit is to back up data, such as using cloud storage or external hard drives for backups. It’s essential to back up important information, and external hard drives are the safest option; in today’s internet environment, who knows when personal information might be leaked again. . . For browsers and other commonly used software, it’s convenient to create an account; this way, even when using another computer or after reinstalling the system, one can use that account to access favorites or basic settings – it becomes a habit over time.
