1. Back your data up to USB drives and take them home with you.
2. Just download some free antivirus software. It’s all the same anyway.
3. Hosted systems aren’t reliable, so keep your e-mail in house.

Those are some pretty big toppers. Others include:
 
Don't move to Windows 8.1, as Windows 7 is far more stable.

Don't run updates, as they will break stuff. 
 
Just a few I've heard. 
 
Thanks,
