How Can We Help?

Low Hard Drive Or Solid State Drive Disk Space

Do you know how much free drive space you have remaining? If you are unaware, there will be problems when it gets below 20% free space. Under 10% is critical. The computer or tech device will get slow. Files can get corrupted. The system might crash/freeze. In a recent project, the operating system got damaged. There was less than 5% free drive space and no Windows system restore points. At that point, the hard drive would have trouble finding a spot to place data. Windows updates might not perform or cause trouble. After backing up user files, Windows was reinstalled, and all the programs have to be as well. 1) If your recycle bin hasn’t been emptied in awhile, that can help. 2) Uninstalling programs you don’t need is another. 3) A cleaner program such as Bleach Bit can remove junk or temporary files.

Why SSDs Matter For All Your Tech In 2025

If you’re running Windows 10 or 11, a current Mac OS, or own a gaming console, a solid-state drive (SSD) is essential for speed and overall performance. SSDs deliver a smoother, faster user experience compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs).

While HDDs can still be useful for external storage or backups, they’re not ideal for running your operating system. SSDs are typically 5–10x faster than HDDs, and if you want even more speed, M.2 NVMe SSDs outperform standard SATA SSDs by another 5–10x.

9 Ways to Make Facebook Tolerable

Facebook can occasionally present a suboptimal user experience. For example, it is not uncommon for one of your connections to post excessively, with some individuals sharing content around 10 times a day.

Windows 10/11 Fake Virus Notifications

Scammers frequently employ fraudulent virus notifications within Internet browsers and the Windows operating system. Such alerts instill fear in users, often leading them to click on the notifications and consequently risking financial loss. These scammers commonly use reputable brand names, such as Norton and McAfee, to enhance their credibility. It is crucial to refrain from permitting notifications from unfamiliar websites. In this project, I disabled notifications in both Windows and Google Chrome due to hijacking by a scam website. The user did not require these notifications. A subsequent scan conducted by Malwarebytes confirmed the absence of any viruses on the system.
