Upgrading Your System

Like all devices and things big and small, our computers too need to grow with time, – none of us is still using Windows 98, isn’t that so? – and since they can’t rely on phenomena of natural growth like us, they rely on us to provide their growth for them, what in the technical world is called “system upgrades.” Technical terms sound wearisome, sure, but system upgrades are not that difficult to understand. Giving your system an upgrade might mean adding a new hardware device to your already existing system, or it could mean installing a better equipped software application to your computer system so as to arm it to better deal with the everyday advancing tech world. It is mostly with regards the software upgrades that computer systems are largely concerned – while adding a hardware only adds fancy to your system, software upgrades actually help the system to run better and faster.

Contrary to popular belief, system upgrades are more beneficial than they are otherwise – if your system isn’t running at par with the latest versions of applications, you have justified need to be concerned. System upgrade does not mean that your system drinks up energy and boosts itself to extremities – mostly what is recommended are small improvements now and then, adding memory to your computers now, getting a better graphic card a few months from now, adding a more energetic battery to your laptop a year from now. The ultimate outcome is an effect tantamount to a refreshing bout for your system. A system upgrade therefore helps to lengthen the half-life of your system and prevents it from rusting.

The best benefit to come out of System upgrades is that it is a money-saving process – instead of having to get a new computer system after your old one goes to waste, you can keep upgrading it from now and then so as to keep it running for a longer period of time. This therefore gives you the time to accumulate enough money to get a new system later on while using your old one just the same and using it to the heights of efficiency at that. A system upgrade thus means not just prolonging your system’s productivity but also helps you garner long term investments. 

While hardware upgrades constitute of adding new batteries and other small devices to your system, software upgrades constitute of installing the latest versions of applications and programs so as to keep up with the advancing time and to possess the latest that there is newer versions of applications means more efficiency and better, fancier apparatus. Certain software providers will automatically let you know of the latest versions of the programs – Windows, iPhone, Cloud all duly notify their users of the latest upgrades that exist. There are, however, certain applications that users have to deal with at their behest, and certain hardware parts that they need to replace. In such cases it is advised to contact a professional, or a website that provides advice – such as www.borsnettechnology.com and others – so as to be better acquainted with the procedure. 

Remote Support Assistance

Using computers has its perks, knowing computers has its perverse downsides that can prove to be little more than pestilence at times and you end up becoming the standard support system for the boy who called help! and all sorts of people owning computers – that is the mark we must bear and the burden we must share – but wait, not necessarily. What if we told you that you are at leisure to abandon your standard badge of tech support for family and friends and help them from, say, far away? Appalling as it might sound, there are countless free and built-in remote tech support options that can relieve you of this plague.

An excellent example would be the Chrome Remote Desktop application that requires merely that you and the person in need of your tech support be linked through, say a shared computer or you both will have to have the application installed. Needless to say almost everyone uses Google Chrome and thus gaining access to this application would not prove to be much of a problem –it can be easily downloaded. The application will enable you to connect to the broken system and guide your mentee remotely, from your own desktop. An access code will be provided once the systems are allowed to be shared, which will enable you to navigate the other system at your will.

Yet another application that is easy to come by and hails a popular banner is the Windows Remote Assistance – doubtless we have all chance upon the application. The application, although only available for the professional editions of Windows, any user of Windows can invite another person for remote assistance and get the help they need. With the application the task becomes easier since the application is built in already. Even with the invitation sent to other people, doubtless they’ll be using Windows, and thanks to the application’s being built-in, there’ll be no need of installation of any kind – what we’re saying is, you can jump straight to the tech support. The application can be launched through the Start menu and anybody who requires help can invite you, which will evoke the initiation of a password through Easy Connect. Once the connection is established, you may proceed smoothly. You’ll be able to navigate the person’s desktop as if it were your own.

One last application worthy of mention – though less popular among us noobs than Chrome or Windows – is the TeamViewer, and it is as popular among the geeks as it is unpopular among the noobs. The application requires simply downloading and installation by both parties – sans the annoying Setup business – and once the program is launched, it is good to go. Your friends-in-need will need to set up a system ID and password that you will share so as to play the friend-in-need, and will provide you the link that gives you access to their computers. A permanent administrator access can also be had – without the need of passwords – which enables you to access the computers as long as they’re turned on.

In addition to these applications there are countless websites that offer remote assistance, for instance Borsnet Technology is one such website that offer help anytime it's needed. Websites such as this one not only have remote assistance to offer but also protection from unauthorized sources and a confidentiality notice that is bound to keep your information safe and sound, far away from the clutches of a third party. Happy idling!
