Windows and Microsoft advice
Protect your Microsoft account
Use a strong, unique password for your Microsoft account and turn on two-step verification when available. It is a simple way to add protection to your account.
Back up important files
Save important files in more than one place. A backup can help you recover photos, documents, and other files if something goes wrong.
Try a restart first
Restarting your computer can clear temporary issues and complete updates. It is often a good first step when something is not behaving as expected.
Pause before clicking
Be cautious with unexpected links, attachments, and pop-ups. When in doubt, pause before clicking and ask for help.
Make a note of the details
If a problem keeps coming back, write down what you see and when it happens. That information can make troubleshooting faster and easier.
