Desktop and Laptop Services
What are desktop computers?
A desktop computer is the most basic component in any IT environment. They are used both at home and in the office, but because they are so popular, they are often overlooked when it comes to maintenance. Keeping desktop computers controlled is vital to the operation of any business network.
Several parts work together to keep desktop computers running smoothly. Having a current Operating System (OS) with the most recent updates enables the user to have a better experience. (Keep in mind that such systems must be configured appropriately to make operations smooth and productive.)
The latest Operating System for Windows is Windows 11. If your desktop is running on anything less than Windows 11, an upgrade is required.
Computer Health
The health of your computer is imperative to its smooth operation, but once again is usually overlooked. Some problems that may occur if your computer is old or defective include:
- Data loss
- File corruption
- Slow performance
- Ransomware
There are many ways to prevent viruses, corruption, worms, trojans, and potentially dangerous user behaviors. Preventative measures may be as easy as running with a non-administrator account rather than one with full computer access or may require the help of an experienced and knowledgeable IT professional.

Laptops are very convenient and have become more popular over the years with the increase of remote employees. While they can be extremely beneficial in the workplace, they can also add a risk-factor to your business. Some things you might consider when looking at using laptops are:
- How do I protect my data?
- What happens if I lose the laptop?
- What if it’s damaged?
