If you've got problems with your hardware or operating system, if you're thinking of upgrading your hardware or changing your operating system, if you're worried about viruses, or if you need PC-specific programming information, there are documents here that should be able to help you out. There are also some documents on related topics that are relevant but not specific to PCs.
