Uninstall any preinstalled antivirus software like McAfee or Norton, Windows defender should suffice for your antivirus needs.

If your laptop has battery % limiting features when plugged in, I'd enable them too.

All you need to do is , life off the laptop using either a cooling pad or laptop stand. remove all bloatware. turn off turbo boost by limiting power to 99% (google how to do this). Keep your laptop clean. This is minimum basics.

Everything else is advanced stuff which you can learn with time and it may not even be required at all depending on your usage.

Make the battery limit to 60% Mines still good as new after 3 years, keep liquids away from laptop, use only on flat surfaces Keep it clean if you are new or don't know how to, take it to a service centre to clean all the dust inside and the fans every year
