1. USB flash drive memory "sticks"

You can buy these in many places.

I bought some on ebay.com to back-up my desktop computer.

They come in many sizes. The 16GB ones hold a lot.

I've managed to keep the laptop (an HP) going by using the tools that are on the computer. Go to COMPUTER. Right click on the local disk C: and go PROPERTIES and click on TOOLS. Run the two things that you can for ERROR-CHECKING.

It takes some time to do to this it seems to have helped.

Make sure to clear the cache and delete cookies.

Also, run defrag. That may speed things up too.

Hope this helps!
