Secondary Computer

Here’s a tip: Chances are you have an older and unused desktop or laptop computer in your home, right? Well, you can use this idle hard drive space as a backup repository for your irreplaceable digital files. Simply connect an external hard drive or USB thumb drive to your main computer, copy over your important documents, photos, videos and music, and then transfer them over to your old PC for safe keeping. You’ll be glad you did if something happens to your main computer.
