Tips 3: Put to sleep

Set your laptop to go to sleep when you are not using it. To decide when your computer should go to sleep follow the next steps:

Step 1: In the search box, type Control Panel and then press it to open it.

Tips 4: Activate Airplane Mode

Airplane mode turns off your laptop’s wireless radios, disabling Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It’s a quick way to save electricity.
 

 

Tips 5: Upgrading to an SSD

More and more laptops are equipped with SSDs by default, but those with a traditional hard drive can be easily upgraded. An SSD consumes less power than a hard drive. Also, because an SSD lacks moving parts, it is faster and more durable.
 

Tips 6: Use a high contrast theme

They don’t look nice, but high-contrast themes in Windows 10 can save energy. They use black pixels, with white and yellow text, which is much more energy-efficient than a bright white background. These themes are designed to help you see the display more easily, but it’s a nice perk.

Tips 9: Antivirus

Your antivirus software may be set to automatically scan your laptop every week. This is a good idea, as it helps you keep your computer clean. But if the scans are run while you’re on battery power, you may lose some juice. Depending on your antivirus program, you may be able to delay scheduled scans until you’ve plugged in your laptop. Alternatively, you should choose a time when you are likely to be near an outlet.
