shutting down vs. sleep mode
I have an HP EliteBook 8440p with Win 7 Pro.
Every evening before I go to bed I shut down my computer and reboot it in the morning. My neighbour insists that shutting down and booting does more damage and causes more problems to a pc than putting it in sleep mode when not in use even right through the night. In other words, more or less, never shutting the machine down from the initial boot when you buy it and bring it home.
So I ask the experts on this forum: What is better to do, shut the machine down at night and reboot in the morning; or put it in sleep mode overnight?
Any advice appreciated in advance.
Thanks and regards.
