Today, I'm going to cover some of the most commonly asked computer questions that I get on a daily basis. I'm going to give you the short, sweet answers that I would give my clients, but if you'd like to know more about a specific topic, I've made dedicated videos about them, and those links are below. The topics I'm going to cover today include:
👉 do I need a backup power supply or surge protector?
APC UPS 225W 37min backup and $75,000 protection (recommended!) amzn.to/3I4HLm3
👉 should I leave my computer on, turn it off, sleep, hibernation, or none of the above?
👉 will leaving my laptop plugged in hurt it?
👉 can FREE software be just as good as paid software? (Avast, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, MalwareBytes, Photopea, etc)
