System Checkup (Iola Tech.)

[Hewieron]

I have "System Checkup" from Iola Technologies on my desktop.  Certificate expired in 2012, I believe.  Should I delete this or is it important.  Should I run it?

Hi

I don't understand, Windows 10 was launched in 2015, and you have a system checker potentially from 2012?

You consider it safe / relevant?

Toot toot!  My desktop is old, don't use it much.  Just going through it now.  I am computer dumb about these things.  Actually I have 64bit, not 32 bit Windows 10.  Should I just delete "system Checkup" from Iola Technologies?  I assume it was a Microsoft or HP included item, I never downloaded it from anywhere.

Personal choice, and mine would be yes.

This may be worth considering.

NOW begin checking/testing/proving the Hardware is fit for purpose.

Thanks Lil Boy.  I am going to uninstall it.  It seems to be 3rd party.  I will just use Windows Administrative tools.  I don't think I have any system problems anyway.
