What can I do to speed it up?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This question has a few possible answers. Let\\&#8217;s see  what could be happening here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Age: Is the computer more than six years old? If so, you may still be using old technology like a mechanical hard drive or you may need a boost in memory. Sometimes a simple upgrade can buy many more years out of your computer, all without losing your data or settings. <\/li><li>Kids: Do the kids play on the computer? It\\&#8217;s never a bad idea to scan the computer for malware, especially if it is Windows-based. Apple computers, while much less likely to become infected, can suffer some of the same consequences.  <\/li><li>Replace it: Sometimes, it\\&#8217;s just time to admit it has led a good life. A backup of the data can be performed and restored on a new computer in most case. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laptop? Desktop? PC? Mac\/Apple? What do I get?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you want to do? That\\&#8217;s the question I ask. If you are doing video editing, graphic design, or digital art, I strongly suggest Apple products. For gaming and most business applications I recommend PCs. Laptop and desktop designs are both well-suited to any number of different tasks and the decision often comes down to portability, specifications, and personal choice.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drop-off my computer?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This option is not currently available due to many no-shows. Scheduling drop-offs removes my ability to schedule guaranteed times and, as a home-based business, I am not in a position to accept drop-offs. I am delighted to work on your computer at your home or business . I am available to pick up your computer and drop it off when it is ready or work on it in your home or office. My dream is to open a customer-facing business in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are your hours?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am employed full-time and run my business as a side job in order to individually help clients with their technology needs. My hours are flexible and arranged on a case-by-case basis to fit our individual schedules. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My computer is really slow.
