With Conosco looking after the technical side of your IT needs, you will be left with more time to optimise your Windows PC to suit your own personal needs. Whether you would like it to go faster, look cooler or sound more inspirational, there are plenty of ways to pimp your PC and stand out from the crowd!

Storage Space

When you bought your PC I bet you couldn’t believe how fast it was compared to your old one, but a couple of years on and no doubt you are becoming increasingly frustrated as it crawls along like a snail. A quick and easy way to speed things up is to buy an external hard drive and transfer all your photos onto it, or better still upload them on to a virtual storage space.

Clean it Up

Just like your home, your Windows PC needs a spring clean from time-to-time. Try removing any programmes that you no longer use, delete cookies, archive folders you haven’t worked on for a while and perform a virus check. It takes a little time to organise yourself but your virtual workspace will thank you for keeping it clean and sparkly!

Dock Heaven

If you like the look of a Mac but don’t like the price tag, then there are various ways to give your PC a Mac makeover. Downloading some animated dock software to arrange your program icons and widgets is a great place to start. You’ll have everything to hand and your desktop will look stylish and tidy.

Picture Inspiration

There are plenty of applications to download for free that will allow you to change your background image every day, hour, minute or second. So if you’re prone to getting bogged down in work, changing stimulating imagery in the background will be sure to keep your workspace inspired.

Fresh Skin

Computers have changed dramatically over the years. Long gone are the days of a big grey box sitting dusty by your feet, instead PCs are sleek, portable and can say a lot about you. Keep things fresh by moving away from a boring uniform exterior and instead give your PC a makeover with a decal skin that best reflects your personality.

Cool Sounds

If your sick of the same ole’ sounds every time you start up your PC or receive an email, why not have a revamp. It’s easy to change your sounds on your preferences, but the options don’t stop at your in-built library. You can download popular catchphrases or even record your children announcing a new email; the options are endless and will keep things creative and lively!

Fresh New Theme

We are all guilty of getting stuck in a rut, but perhaps you don’t think about a new colour scheme for your PC as often as you do for your living room, but they are out there and easy to process. From animals and landscapes to flowers or minimalist sophistication, you can download a whole host of fresh and colourful themes that will revamp your computer in no time at all.
