   • Click cautiously and install less. The most important tip we have isn’t about settings but about behavior. Being able to recognize phishing attempts and being skeptical of what you download will do more to safeguard your information than any other recommendation we offer here.
   • Don’t put off automatic updates. Microsoft periodically releases security updates for Windows, and though they may seem annoying, installing them is one of the most important things you can do to keep your computer secure.
   • Enable BitLocker. When your computer’s storage drive is encrypted, no one can access its data without your password while the computer is turned off. If you lose a laptop on a flight, someone grabs it when you’re on the road, or a person breaks into your house and steals your computer, they won’t be able to access any of the data on it.
   • Back up your files. If something goes seriously wrong with a PC, whether it’s due to a bug or a virus, it’s far easier for most people to wipe a storage drive clean and start over from scratch than it is to troubleshoot the problem.
