new with computers, need help with new dell laptop!!
I just purchased a new dell inspiron laptop with windows 7 home premium 64 bit. I have no idea what that means but im trying to be specific. Being very new at this, Im not very good with computers but ive been researching and looking at some of these posts. All I really know how to do is search the internet, and run word.
I am going to be a freshman in college, which is why I got this.
I already have virus and spyware services, thats about the only thing ive done to it.
I was wondering what programs I need to uninstall in order to get the most out of my computer without deleting something that could mess it up.
Also, being a student is there any helpful things i could install, or just anything fun and worth taking a look at. I'm apprehensive about installing anything and risking a virus being in it or something. Being new at this, I dont even know what I want, whats available, or even where to look.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
-Thanks!
Also, I didnt understand very many of the post I read here because y'all used a lot of computer slang. So any dumbing down so I can understand would be appreciated as well!
