10 Things You Should Do With Your PC

Variety is the spice of life, and that’s true for your PC too. If you’re stuck in a rut with Windows, increasingly bored with the endless routine of system maintenance, word processing and web browsing, we’ve got just the tonic to inject some spice back into your computing. Over the next eight pages we’re going to reveal ten things you should look to do over the coming 12 months.

We’ll open with a quick reminder to ensure that Windows is in the peak of health, and then plunge into the fun stuff. We’ll set you on the path to researching your family history, reveal how to make better use of those hundreds of digital photos cluttering up your hard drive, plus give your brain a good workout with the right games. We’ll also reveal the free apps available to help you learn a musical instrument – or simply pick up where you left off some years ago.

There’s space to put your personal finances in order plus organise favourite collections so you can keep track of what you have (and who’s borrowed them). We’ll reveal the perfect tools to help you become a storyteller and full-blown published author before looking at the best streaming services out there. Frustrated by what’s on offer? Then why not complete your computing reawakening by building your own, on-demand and always available streaming service instead? Come on, let’s get refreshed.
