Using System Restore is a better option than to create a registry backup. Still, if you want to create Registry backup, here’s what to do:

Open Registry Editor by typing regedit in RUN (Win Key + R).

Now, on menu bar click File | Export

Remember to click on ALL (in Export Range) (This will back up the WHOLE registry), before you save.

Now just name the file and click save.

Give it some time to save it.

Most of you might wonder that will your PC support 64bit OS (Operating System) or not. Well! Ofcourse OS is the most important, as it then runs the applications. If you are capable to install 64bit OS then all 64bit applications will work.

Why 64bit?

64bit systems are designed to work more efficiently and faster in tasks, as compared to 32bit systems.

How to check if your PC is 64bit supportive?

Open Control Panel and go to “Performance Information and Tools.” Now click on “View and print detailed performance and system information”.

View under System, 64-bit capable, whether it says Yes OR No.

If your system is 64-bit compatible, then ofcourse you can install a 64bit OS and use 64bit applications.

*64bit capable system can obviously run a 32bit OS.

If you are using Windows XP then, right click on My Computer & view its properties and if it says “x64”, it means that your PC is 64bit capable.

You might be using some download manager to download stuff & few times that download even breaks, whatever the reason may be. If you were not able to resume the broken download, where did the half downloaded file go?

Well! It is stored in temporary files and occupies space. To view these files go to:

In case of IDM (Internet Download Manager) on Windows Vista & 7
C:\Users\ YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\IDM\DwnlData\YourUsername

The broken files are stored here. You may even delete (Shift + Del)(To permanently delete) all the folders in it.

*AppData is a hidden folder so, just past the address into the address bar.

Ever wondered that can you change the function of Power button. Well! Yes, you can. Sometimes virus attacks can also change it and you won’t know what’s wrong with the button.
