Syncing your Office documents across your devices
If you use Microsoft Office (Word, Excel & PowerPoint) then you can use OneDrive to keep your documents in sync between your devices and allow you to work wherever you are. If you have an Office365 subscription then you already have 1TB of OneDrive space or you can sign up for a free account and get 5GB of space.
Accessing your emails out and about
Most people now have more than just one PC at home or in the office, so it’s important to know how to access your emails when you’re away from your main PC.
Almost all the major email providers have a few ways for you to do this and we’ll take a look at those options here.
How can I set up an email signature?
Having a signature on your outgoing email is a great way to ensure that people always have your contact details or other information to hand so in this tip we'll show you how to set up a signature on a few different devices.
How do I use Apple Music?
With Apple Music's increasing popularity, Tekee Tim thought it would be a good time to show you how to get the best from it.
How can I remember my passwords?
These days we all have passwords for everything and they all need to be unique, secure and cryptic but easy to access when you need them.
For years now we've been using and recommending 1Password as an easy way to create, store and enter passwords that match all the requirements above.
How to get the best from your WiFi
Having WiFi at home or work can be really convenient when you're using laptops or smartphones/tablets as it means you don't have to be confined to one area when you want to use the Internet, unfortunately just about everything interferes or blocks WiFi to some extent but luckily there are things you can do to try to get the best signal possible.
How can I share files between a PC and a Mac?
If you have both a Mac and Windows you will often want to share files between them, unfortunately Windows can't read a Mac formatted disk at all and the Mac can't save files to a Windows formatted disk. Fortunately there is a way to format a disk so you can use it on both systems just the same.
Creating a backup in the cloud

Should I pay for expensive software?

How to look after your battery
