Use Two Partitions On Your Hard Drive
Why put everything on this famous C drive? With the large storage capacity of today’s hard drives, it is possible to partition your hard drive into multiple disks, for example, a disk C where the system and applications are located and a disk D to store your documents, images, movies, music, etc. In this case, if you are worried, you can start a reinstallation of the disk C without leaving the data left on the disk D unaffected!

Avoid Opening An Email Sent By An Unknown Sender
When you receive an email from someone, you do not know or is not identifiable. No need to open it and click on the email link, you can directly delete it and report it as spam if your email box allows it. Tell yourself that if someone wants to get in touch with you, not sure he already has your email. And then, he will be able to write a specific email object and identify himself clearly so that doubt is not allowed.

Update Your Software
We all agree on this point. Updating Windows or other software of your Dell PowerEdge R540 never comes at the right time. But be aware that the majority of what these updates contain is about security. Software publishers are very sensitive to the safety of their software and want users always to be able to use it safely. So, yes, it is long and tedious, but it can save you a lot of hassle afterwards to update your system and your software regularly and thus block potential security vulnerabilities on your computer.
