Maintain order in our team

Since we are going to paint or do work at home... we can take the opportunity to put a little order and throw away what we don't want, right? This home maxim can be applied in this case. And it is that since it is not a clean installation, what better than before receiving it to review the programs that we have installedas well as all the content that may no longer be useful to us.

Yes, we know, it can be a real pain to carry out this sieve, but in the long run it is a task that will have its rewardWe will have more free space on the hard drive, which is never a bad thing, especially on computers where it is scarcer, and maybe along the way we will lighten the use of RAM memory by removing unnecessary programs.

Bet on the backup copy

We eliminate everything we don't want but what does interest us is better to keep it safe Prevention is better than cure, as the title of the legendary TVE program. The best thing to do is to be cautious and it doesn't hurt to have a backup copy of all the content we have.

We seek above all to to keep safe in the event of a possible failure or any incident, those files that we do not want to loseA process that regardless of the update, it is advisable to carry out periodically. We already saw in an article the steps in the 3, 2, 1 backup strategy

Keep programs up to date

When moving to Spring Creators Update we may find programs that are not compatible. Ok, it's not usual, but after making the jump we may find that we have installed programs that are not updated to the latest versions.

It's about determining if those programs are up to date so that they won't cause problems with the version jump Nothing to do for that Better than starting a process in each one of the programs to check if there are pending updates, that in case they don't update or at least notify us automatically.

Check available space

"

If we use the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant in the same a series of checks are carried out to determine if the requirements with which we counted are enough to install Spring Creators Update."

Requirements including storage capacity on the hard drive, a space that may have benefited from the previous cleaning task that we have carried out. And it is essential before updating the to check if we have enough space on our computer to download the system. Imagine that we have a full hard drive just when we are going to proceed with the download and installation.

It is also interesting to verify that in our team there are no major conflicts and although it is a version jump and it is assumed that we have the _necessary_ hardware, it doesn't hurt to check that our PC meets the necessary requirements.

Beware of the antivirus

Oh the antivirus, an element that can cause more than one headache during installation. In this sense, during the installation, it may be interesting to temporarily disable it to avoid possible conflicts.

This way we make sure that it will not cause any interference during the installation process. And when we have completed the process we activate it again and incidentally update the virus database.

Be careful with what we have connected

It is also advisable to disconnect all those peripherals that we have connected to the equipment. External hard drives, game controllers, digitizing tablets... any connected element that is not essential can be disconnected during the process in order to avoid possible interference.

Wait for update

"

And if you&39;ve already taken all these steps, you&39;ve reached the finish line. You have your team ready to wait for the arrival of the Spring Creators Update. A large and vitally important update that our team deserves to have ready.

There are even some users who prefer to let a few days pass before upgrading to a new version of an operating system so as not to make guinea pigs and check if it presents any kind of problem or incompatibility."
