Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer using the Shut down
command, save your work on the internal storage drive,
external media, flash media, or optical disc. This is one of
the most important rules of computing.
Many applications offer a feature that saves documents at
regular intervals. Check your program’s documentation to
see if it has an automatic save feature.

Back up all the files you create in case something happens
to your computer. You can back up your files to different

storage media, or to a network, if available.
To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft
Windows file recovery program preinstalled on the
computer’s internal storage drive. Also see
