    Test your computer backup.
    How do you know the backup you have been doing, will restore your files when you need them? Test the restore process now  - before you need it - so that you can fix any problems in advance.

    Look at the age of your computer and plan accordingly.
    No one wants to spend money unless they have to. Any computer more than 5 years old is a candidate for replacement. Replacing a computer before it crashes is easier than afterwards.
     
    Test your Internet connection speed.
    Are you getting what you paid for? If the connection is slower than what you paid for, get your Internet Service Provider to fix the problem or downgrade to a lower cost package.
