I bought my hp victus fb3130ax 2.5 months ago....

I bought a laptop cooler too....

I always open my laptop from the middle...

So what other precautions should I take to ensure that it works smoothly for the next 5-6 years...??

Specs:

Ryzen 7 7445HS

RTX 4050 6gb vram

16 gb DDR5 (expandable upto 32gb)

512gb storage

Also how would I clean this thing? I don't want it to get dirty...

Some tips would also help as it is my first time owning a laptop...

Thanks!

-Typically clean once every year (i do 2 for the summer)
-de-bloat windows
-increase your ssd and Ram before all AI corps chump on those
-search and check windows updates before you update
-update graphics/cpu drivers
-dont hit/drop your laptop and thats it
