Your PC will serve you well if you bother to maintain it. I have shown you the basics in how to clean up the
inside and outside of the PC as well as its external components. I have also shown you some basic actions to
keep up the actual data on the PC.
These actions should be done on any computer. But, for older PC’s, these are typical activities that would be
done to bring that PC back to life. By doing all this, you can resurrect an old PC and at least get it up and
running and in shape to be used for something.
None of this, obviously, addressed the obsolecence of these older PCs though. It is good to maintain and old
PC. As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, there are things you can do with an old PC rather than
waste it as a dust collector in the closet. But, obviously, these systems cannot do a lot of what we like to do
with our PC’s today. Sometimes, you can breathe new life into an older PC by upgrading a few key components,
adding some memory, etc. In many cases, though, this is not worth it because it would be cheaper to buy a new
system than to upgrade an old one. In this, you’ll have to be the judge.
And with that, happy (and clean) computing!
