Maintaining your tablet

It is important to perform regular maintenance to keep your tablet in optimal condition by using tools
like Disk Cleanup. This chapter also includes ways to update programs and drivers, steps to clean the
tablet, and tips for traveling with (or shipping) the tablet.

Improving performance

You can improve the performance of your tablet by performing regular maintenance tasks with tools
such as Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup.

Using Disk Cleanup

Disk Cleanup searches the hard drive for unnecessary files that you can safely delete to free up disk
space and help the tablet run more efficiently.
To run Disk Cleanup:
1. From the Start screen, select disk, and then select Manage your apps to free up disk space.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Updating programs and drivers

HP recommends that you update your programs and drivers on a regular basis. Updates can resolve
issues and bring new features and options to your tablet. For example, older graphics components
might not work well with the most recent gaming software. Without the latest driver, you would not be
getting the most out of your equipment.
