The disks, documentation, and receipts that came with your computer are very important. Gather this information in a large envelope or small box. Computer specifications may be needed when calling a computer manufacturer or a computer professional for technical support. This information is also valuable when upgrading and/or repairing your computer.

Also be sure to save the original program disks and serial numbers for any software that you purchase. If you download software, create a CD or DVD with the program files and label it with the serial number for the program.

Keep everything together in a safe place.
