3. Take care of your battery

Your PC’S battery will only last for a few years. But you can extend its lifespan by being good to it. You can achieve that by not leaving it charging all the time. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the power cable and remove the battery. You should also charge the battery fully before you unplug the power cable.

A computer virus is the main threat to the health of your computer. The virus can damage not just certain programs and software in your computer, but also your system.

While this seems so obvious, many people tend to ignore it. Avoid eating near your computers, or better yet, do not eat while using your computer. Food pieces or crumbs may get their way into the keyboard and other parts of your computer. When this happens, it will attract termites, ants, and other insects, that may end up destroying some crucial parts of your computer. In addition to that, your drink- whether water or coffee may spill on the keyboard, destroying it as well.

6. Clean your computer

You also need to clean your computer regularly. You can wipe down the computer using a soft, dry cloth every week. If there are tough smudges, you can use a slightly wet cloth to clean your computer surfaces gently.
