IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I have a Dell with Windows XP. Family photos and music downloads have loaded the computer. Would putting the photos and music on an external hard drive free up the computer to run faster?

For sure. One of the causes for slowing computers is a full hard drive and one of the reasons for a full hard drive are a mass of photos, videos and music.

You should keep in mind that external drives do fail so you still need to back the data up. So get a second external hard drive or continue burning those valuable pictures to DVD.
