August 27, 2019Take a moment to really think about all the digital photos that you want to keep. Most of your pictures are probably saved on your cell phone, because cell phones are our most frequently used cameras these days. If you’re a photographer, you no doubt have lots of photos saved on your digital camera, too. And let’s not forget about the photos we receive from other people - we save the pictures that our friends text us, or maybe we download the image that we’re tagged in on social media.

Most people have their photos scattered across many different devices, social media profiles, and cloud storage accounts. That makes it difficult to find an individual photo when you really need it, and it also increases the likelihood that some of your photos may go missing or accidentally get deleted.

Today, the expectation for computers is no exception to this rapid progression. Fortunately, the opportunities for upgrading PCs without the need to purchase a new product has opened doors for those looking to make good with the tech they already have.
