If you have installed
windows on your PC/Laptop few settings are recommended.
Change the download path in the browser to any other drive other than
the drive in which the OS is installed
If the Windows OS fails
in the future the data downloaded from browsers which is always stored in
the Downloads folder will be lost after reinstalling windows.
So it is recommended to change the download path to another drive. For example,
if windows is installed in C: drive, the downloads are set to download to
C:\Users\Username\Downloads in the browser by default. Change it to D:\ or
creating a folder in the required drive.
Enable Automatic Updates
Enable automatic updates that fixes security fixes in the OS and keeps windows up to date.
Note: Disable automatic
updates if you have installed a pirated version of windows because you will
receive "windows not genuine" error and also original windows is
recommended installing in your desktop/laptop.
Create a restore point
Create a restore point
after installing windows so that you can roll back the system to the date when
the windows is installed if any problems arise in OS in the future
Install an Antivirus software
Install Antivirus software which starts guarding your PC/Laptop right after installing OS.
Use a cloud storage service
Use cloud storage like
google drive or dropbox which stores your data in the servers. Upload files
immediately to the cloud storage so that you can avoid data loss since the
windows is installed.
Be cautious regarding installing toolbars and unfamiliar software
It is recommended not to
install the software that comes like an add-on to the software that you are
currently installing. Such add-on software and toolbars creep into your
computer when you are installing particular software by keeping the
"Install the software/toolbar XYZ" option checked in the install
wizard of the software you are currently installing. Such un-noticeable toolbars
or software brings adware/malware to your computer.
