- Operating system checks – to check whether system update is working properly and to check whether the system is up-to-date with the latest updates and patches.
- Physical checks and cleaning – such as keyboard, mouse, external moving parts, cooling system check, CD/DVD drive, connectors etc and clean them if appropriate.
- Expert inspections – as an experienced IT professional I will manually check system startup programmes, system services and running processes and identify any potential problems. Check for out-of-date key software.
- Windows performance tests – we will check the performance of Windows startup and shutdown. I will refresh windows performance score by running windows benchmark.
