• Not Making Backup
  

Not making a backup is one the most common mistake and one realize only when they lost it. According to Bob Lafayette, the hard disk can break anytime. No doubt it has a long life, but in
the end, it is a hardware. No matter how much powerful system you’ve purchased, it is always recommended to make a backup of your files. It is also a good idea to create a system restore
point. This will help you regain access to your old computer with just a click. If you don’t make it, then you may need to install the operating system again. Now coming to files if you really
don’t want to lose your personal file then apart from taking backup consider to make a backup of your files in the cloud.

• Install Software Without Reading
  

When you install any software from the internet, then it usually comes with an installer file. When you install it, it has some next buttons which use clicks without reading above
information. Most of the time you are installing bloatware, virus, malwares, etc. which harm your system. Bob Lafayette recommends only download software from trusted source. Second
when you install software to make sure to have a look at options especially if it has radio buttons or checkbox. Unchecking will save you from installing bloat wares. So be careful next time.

• Don’t Update System
  

It is sure that most of you reading this blog have not original Windows. If you are the one then immediately switch with a genuine one. If you have genuine Windows, then the next step
which you need to do is update it regularly. Most of us generally turn down the automatic updates, but according to Bob Lafayette Vermont, this is one of the biggest mistakes. By doing this, you are simply inviting lots of threats to your computer. Apart from it if you can upgrade your system hardware then update it without any hassle.

• Don’t Turn Off Computer Properly
  

Most of the people are really in a hurry. They don’t even have time to turn off the computer properly.  They directly switch off the system from the main power supply. If you are the one, then you may face serious consequences. You can damage your files anytime, and the worst part is if you didn’t make any backup then you will lose it for forever.  So make sure to turn off
properly.
