IT Department Training Manual Case Scenario As an advanced PC technician, you are part of a company training program in which you will learn more advanced skills to service client computers and also train new technicians coming on board. You will take the information and documentation that you had in the training manual developed in Hardware and Software I and continue to add your new skills so that you can provide a team training manual that builds on your previous work. You should also know that your new technicians only have the basic skills, like you did when you first started, so you need to be very clear when you document these more advanced techniques and procedures. You are trying to position yourself for more responsibility within your organization by showing some supervisory potential. You are creating a training manual that will be used by the new technicians that have limited experience in the field. Begin your training manual by using this template to describe what is required to install and configure a consistent operating system on a computer in the organization. Be general in nature, so that it addresses the major critical steps and considerations to prepare and execute a load of Windows operating system on a computer. Your process should be 4-6 pages and: 1). Describe the hardware specifications on the computer that need to be checked before loading the operating system. What resources from Microsoft are available to assist with these checks? The several things that need to be checked before loading an Operating System, but the most important are the memory, disk space, and CPU speed. Some other components if your computer doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements when loading an OS, programs may not run or even install. Microsoft assists with this process through Properties in My Computer and in “About” in the System Settings. 2.) If the computer currently has an operating system or important files, what steps should be taken before loading the new operating system? The steps that should be taken before loading a new operating system is verifying the systems compatibility, which means the drive space, memory, CPU speed, display, sound and video cards and whatever else is required. Backing up the data and files are vital and also creating system image in case the installation fails is helpful a well. Also, you should check the software compatibility and drivers.
