Practicum 1 Day 10: Dec 12, 2013

Today at Lifetime Learning Center was a super busy day. There was definitely something to do today. We had a shipment of laptops come in which they had Windows XP installed on them. We had to partition them and then we had to install Windows 7 Ultimate onto them. I really did enjoyed this day.

The day started off with David asking myself and Bryce to take a look at some of the laptops to see what type of drivers and the condition of what each laptop were in. I began with partitioning and installing 1/5 of the laptops that I had to partition and then install the Operating System. At my desk I at one point had my own laptop and 3 other laptops that I was working on. We had a lot of laptops that had to be plugged in and such.

I used the UBCD from a bootable USB drive that I used from when you used them in the course, it definitely came in handy today. Once it was finished partitioning I then used the Windows 7 bootable USB to download Windows 7 Ultimate. All in all it took some time to complete all 5 of the laptops that I worked on. At the end of the day we were able to get all 7 of the laptops with Windows 7 Ultimate fully activated on each laptop. We also looked at a few laptops that did not connect to the internet, we are guessing that they do not have a wifi card in them or the drivers are just not installed.

On Monday we will be finishing up this task by downloading Microsoft Office 2010 and a few other programs such as ccleaner, Firefox and AVG. I feel like today gave me some new skills with working on partitions and installing an OS on the device.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,


Sincerely,
