These three things are the best ways to upgrade your laptop without having to spend too much. Go out there and give that old laptop of yours a second chance.

1. How to Give Life to
an Old Laptop

2. Let’s be Honest-
• Our laptops aren’t
meant to last forever.
Just like the song by
the classic rock band
Kansas, “all we are is
dust in the wind.”
While that may not be
the most uplifting
song ever written, the
fact remains true,
nothing lasts.

3. • We do have second
chances though. Just
when we though our
gadgets have died out on
us, we have the capacity
to give it a jolt of life to
make things fun again.
With your old laptop, you
can make use of
replacement laptop parts
to improve performance
and make it competitive.

4. YOU CAN DO THAT OR SELL
YOUR LAPTOP, OR YOU CAN
DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

5. Reformat/Change the OS
• As time goes by, even after all of the
antivirus and registry cleaning software we
get, Windows can get very clunky. The
damage has been done and it’s time to
reformat your laptop. By reformatting the
laptop, everything is clean and new again.

6. Reformat/Change the OS
• With that in mind, you
should also try out different
operating systems. Did you
know that Apple computers
can run the Windows OS
and vice versa? There are
hacks for that! Of course,
those things are left for the
experts to tinker with. What
you can do is experiment
with Ubuntu, a free Linux –
based software that is
widely used nowadays.

7. Clean the Laptop
• If your laptop isn’t
really that old, say
two to three years,
then cleaning your
laptop is probably the
best way to increase
the performance.
What should you
clean in the laptop
anyway?

8. Clean the Laptop
• The number one thing to clean in old laptops is
dust, which can accumulate everywhere inside the
motherboard. It also accumulates in the vents and
cooling fans. To clean this, just pry out the back
panel (your warranty has probably expired by this
time anyway) and proceed to dust away with a
paint brush to get to those little corners.
• Once everything is done, you should experience
an increase in efficiency because your laptop isn’t
working too hard anymore from the heat
generated by dust.

9. Upgrade the Storage
• If you think the problem is with
your storage, such as files
taking too long to load, don’t
blame it on your processor -
blame it on the hard drive. The
processor works consistently
and is one of the most durable
parts in the motherboard.
• Hard drives, on the other hand,
can break down as time goes
by because of their parts. It
uses a spindle to read files and
as the years go by, you’ll
notice that performance
suffers.

10. Upgrade the Storage
• One way to cure this problem is to upgrade the
hard drives to accommodate newer ones. You’ll
experience faster boot ups and even faster
loading of files and other stuff.
• Even better – upgrade to solid state drives,
which are incredibly fast. Everything is digitally
powered and efficiency is increased. No more
spindles to wear out! Think of it as digital
recording instead of analog recording for
musicians. You won’t have to run out of tape!
