Very useful when purchasing a used computer
Use the Windows Reliability Monitor to view your computer's reliability and problem history
Have you ever had to buy a second-hand computer with Windows already installed and wanted to know if the operating system was stable or not? Sometimes, a cursory glance can’t tell if Windows is corrupt or has other issues.
A quick way to check the health of a Windows machine is to open Reliability Monitor. It's a built-in tool that's been around since Windows Vista and still works in Windows 10. You probably don't hear about it much, but I find it pretty useful.
In this article, I will show you how to open Reliability Monitor and what information it can give you. There are many times when Windows records a lot of errors, but they do not necessarily show up in your daily activities. However, leaving them untouched will eventually lead to more problems.
