If the worst happens and your computer crashes , what do you need to get everything back up and running quickly.
One
A Backup , preferably of your user profile on your computer.
You get this by opening up your hard drive on your computer , say the ” C ” drive
Then find your ” user name ” which will either be visible straight away or in ” documents and settings”
This contains all the relevant files , including application settings , documents , music and photos.
Two
Your software for that computer.
You will need your copy of Office for example and any other discs or downloaded software you need , along with installation keys.
You should keep this say in a box so that it is easy to lay your hands on.
Three
If your computer has a built in format and reload the operating system function , make sure you know how to access it.
This is usually acheived by a combination of keys such as alt F11 being pressed when the computer is restarting.
Knowledge of these three can get you up and running reasonably quickly.
