Week 5 - Installing and Configuring Process

 There is brief Installing and configuring process of multiple devices and operating systems in the book CompTIA A+ Certification All-In-One Guide, (Chapters 10-12). In chapter 10, the author is listing all common peripherals such as Keyboards, mouse, touch pad, smart card readers, scanners/QR, touch screens, digital cameras sound processors etc.… Not only listed the common peripherals, but there are also enough clear ideas on how to install/connect them, troubleshooting minor issues. It covers the installation and configuration of printers, including local and network printers. It also emphasizes printer connectivity options like USB, parallel, network (Ethernet, Wi-Fi), and Bluetooth. The chapter also explains how to manage print jobs, configure printers for sharing, and resolve common printing problems. In chapter 11, the author provides an overview of various types of mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops etc.) hardware and operating systems. The important part covers mobile operating systems like Android and iOS, their settings, and how to secure mobile devices. It emphasizes mobile device management (MDM), app installation, and troubleshooting, as well as securing sensitive data on mobile devices. And on chapter 12, there is a lot about task manager, it helps to set up and install the fundamental user interface, checking the performance of CPU and basic networking concepts.  

After reviewing the online information about Windows, I discovered that starting in October 2025, Microsoft will no longer offer free software updates, technical support, or security patches for Windows 7 through windows 10 series. Then I checked the feature specific requirements for Windows 11 installation process. From the long story short to install Windows 11, first ensure our PC meets the system requirements, such as TPM 2.0 and secure boot. Next, download the Windows 11 installation tool from Microsoft's website or create a bootable USB drive using the Media Creation Tool. Finally, run the installer, follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation, and restart the computer once it's done.

Week 4 - Hardware Repair

 When performing computer hardware repair, it's important to pay attention to several key points to ensure successful and safe repair. Safety precautions, Diagnosing the problem, component capability, using proper tools, component replacement, handle software issues separately, reassemble carefully are the major things that I have learned from the video and my own research.  1.  Safety Precautions: v   Power Off & Unplug: Always make sure the computer is turned off and unplugged from the power source before starting any repairs. v   Ground Yourself: Use an anti-static wrist strap to avoid damaging sensitive components with static electricity. Alternatively, ground yourself by touching a metal object. v   Handling Components Carefully: Avoid touching the pins or contacts on components (like RAM, CPU, or motherboard) to prevent damage. v   Heat: Some parts, like CPUs and power supplies, can get hot. Be cautious to avoid burns. 2. Diagnosing...

OS and configuring email on Mobile Devices

  OS and configuring email on Mobile Devices This week, I got the opportunity to overview both operating systems iOS & Android that are used on mobile devices, enroll devices for on-premises MDM in Configuration Manager system, and analysis of configuring Email on Mobile Devices. iOS is the operating system made by Apple for iPhones and iPads. It was first released in 2007 and has been updated many times since. Each new version brings improvements like better speed, more features, and security updates. iOS has made Apple devices very popular because it is easy to use and works well with other Apple products. It also has a big app store where users can download many different apps. iOS helps Apple stay competitive in the smartphone market by offering a smooth, secure, and reliable experience. Android OS, developed by Google in 2005. It is an open-source operating system primarily used in smartphones and tablets. It has grown to dominate the global smartphone market, with o...

Week 3- Selection of CPU, RAM and Processor

  Choosing the right CPU is the biggest challenge for non-tech people in this century. When choosing a CPU, we can consider such as number of cycles a CPU can perform per second called (GHz), number of cores and its purpose, compatibility of processor with the CPU and the budget. After I completed chapters 3 and 4 in a book, and other materials that have various information about processors, RAM (DRAM) manufacturers, SSD, coolers, and overall CPU selections, I would like to summarize some of the points in this post. Modern CPU's can process multiple commands in parts of commands in parallel. Intel and AMD have built in support for running more than one operating system at a time a process. (is called visualization) The CPU is composed of multiple chunks of circuitry to handle the many types of calculation our PC needs to do. When selecting a CPU you need to make certain the motherboard can accommodate or if you are buying a motherboard along with the CPU then get the right CPU fo...
