...System Setup Dez Ale Instruction Manual New System Setup Dez Ale Version 2.8 Version 2.8 Introduction BA Consulting has established itself as a leader in information technology, servicing the airline and financial industry in a short period of 9 years. The growth and success in such a relatively short period can be attributed to our time tested set of best practices. BA Consulting’s achievements and cohesive functionality at each of our locations is partly due to following established protocols, routines, and guidelines. Adherence to these established protocols ensures everyone that even when we open up a new branch in a foreign country, it mirrors its sister sites across the world. In preparation for launching our new location in London, we have purchased 12 Lenova IdeaCentre A600 - 30116CU desktop computers. These computers come standard with Windows Vista. Each team will have to set up their computer and upgrade the current operating system to Windows 7 edition due to the fact that it cannot support many of our enterprise based software packages. We have purchased a license for 15 computers, with the expectation that each user will be able to carry out the operating system upgrade. Many on staff are not technically savvy, so we have put together a technical manual to ensure that the upgrade is performed correctly. Setting up Your Computer Step 1 – Remove five items from the box, the central processing unit (CPU), Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and External...

Since Information Technology and software development projects are all that Smith Systems Consulting does, they have the experience to know how to design, implement, and maintain a new system with the most minimal impact to your business.

Operating System Overview According to GCF LearnFree.org, an Operating System (OS) “manages the computer's memory, processes, and all of its software and hardware. It also allows you to communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the computer's language. Without an operating system, a computer is useless” (GCF LearnFree.org, 2015). Operating Systems (OS) allow the user to interface with the computer and make use of the many productivity tools available. The computer OS also manages and controls auxiliary equipment such as input/output devices (mouse/keyboard/monitors), and printers. Each of these allows the user to interact and communicate with the computer. Components and Functions Without an OS, a computer is a mix of hardware and applications...

...Topic Notes: Windows 8 Introduction Windows 8 in history With the rapid acceptance of small powerful touch-based devices and the rapidly growing market for such devices, Microsoft had to react by developing an operating system capable of competing, while at the same time leveraging the greater part of the existing Windows XP and Windows 7 operating system functionality. Windows 8 story – Windows reimagined On first look, Microsoft seem to have created two operating systems in one, but further examination reveals that they have simply created a new touch supporting interface which gives the user a broader range of services and features. Windows 8 supports the new immersive Windows 8 UI application type and traditional desktop applications – allowing users to work with centralized services and other remote users, and to synchronize data between their desktops and their Windows phone or cloud presence provided by the SkyDrive feature. The classic Start button has been replaced by the new Windows 8 Start screen, while the classic and familiar Windows 7 desktop is retained and continues to support traditional desktop applications. The new Windows 8 Search feature takes the Windows search service to a new level of sophistication and ease of use, and searches can be applied to the system or within the Windows 8 UI application that you are currently working on. Several features of the Windows 8 operating system are designed to operate with remote services and social networking...
