In this week's tip, Tekee Tim will help you through the process.
Do more with desktop apps
When you're looking to get more from your PC or Mac, the best place to start is by installing new applications that can expand the things that your computer can do. For example, you might want to install a game to play, install an app to allow you to access Twitter or Facebook without having to keep visiting their websites or install an app to help you keep notes or keep your photos organised.
What can I do if I lose my device?
If you ever lose your laptop or mobile device, you don't need to panic. There are things you can do to make sure that no one else can get hold of your data and you can even track your device to try to get it back.
How can I remember my passwords?
