Over the course of 6-weeks we're exploring the general housekeeping recommended for windows laptops (can be applied to desktop systems too). These short videos support the in-person class and allows participants to review techniques, tips and tools outside of class time with confidence.

*Note this is Windows Laptop specific training, and not for MacBooks or other Apple products.

Course Outline:

• Week 1: Cleaning the Laptop. Desktop and home screen decluttering, essential security practices e.g. updates, passwords.

• Week 2: Files. Clean‑up of Downloads, Documents, Photos, and Screenshots, Storage management tools and settings. *This can take a while so will not get through it all in one week. 🙂

• Week 3: Email. Inbox clean‑up: unsubscribing, filtering, rules, and folder structures. Email settings: signatures, notifications, search optimisation.

• Week 4: Contacts: Contact management: duplicates, outdated entries, syncing across devices. Calendar organisation: colour coding, recurring events, reminders.

• Week 5: Applications and Browsers. Removing unused applications off the laptop. Basics of using browsers: tabs, bookmarks, extensions, privacy settings. 

• Week 6: Laptop Habits. Establishing a regular monthly housekeeping checklist.
