PlainPC Health
Plain-English computer health check for non-technical users — one click tells you why your laptop is slow, what is eating battery, and what (if anything) you actually need to fix, without scary system jargon.

- One-click scan that returns a plain-English verdict ("Your laptop is slow because of background updates, not malware")
- Battery, storage, and memory explanations in human terms with a 'what to do' button that actually does it

- Optional family-share so a tech-savvy relative can see the report remotely
