Different from previous versions of Windows, Windows 10 is released as an “operating system as a service,” which means that it will receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality. To clearly differentiate it THE BOTTOM LINE from previous versions of Windows and make this new format clear, Microsoft chose to skip Windows 9 and name it Windows 10. Before installing Windows, you should do a little bit of planning and ask the following questions: 1. What will the computer be used for? 2. What type of environment will the computer run in? 3. Does the computer need to be portable? Determining what the computer will be used for will help you determine what hardware you need. For example, for a computer‐aided design (CAD) system, you need a fast processor, lots of memory, and a fast video card. In addition, a CAD system would greatly benefit from a solid‐state drive. Determining the environment that the computer will be used in will help you determine if you need special equipment to keep the computer clean. If it is in a dusty environment, dust will accumulate, which can cause systems to overheat. Today, being mobile brings its own challenges. You want a system that can give you long bat- tery life, but sufficient power to perform the necessary tasks. In addition, it will help deter- mine what hardware you might need that is portable. For example, does the system need external or high‐quality loud speakers, or do you need a large screen to work from? In some situations, you might only need a smaller computer (small laptop or notepad) that allows you to check emails, take notes, write reports, and construct spreadsheets. Now that you understand what the computer will be used for, you can determine its form factor, which specifies the size, configuration, and/or physical arrangement of a computing device. Some of the common form factors are: • Desktop PC : The traditional PC that comes in a box that lays down (desktop) or stands upright (tower). Desktops can be inexpensive systems that can handle basic office tasks, or they can be very expensive when required to provide maximum performance, such as CAD systems or video editing. Because desktop PCs tend to be larger, they are not very portable. • Laptop: A portable computer that provides mobility for traveling users or users who might work from home. Although laptops tend not to be as powerful as the desktop ver- sion, today’s laptops can provide superior performance. Laptops can be enhanced with MOAC698_c01.indd 2 11/4/2016 9:06:27 PM 70-698: Installing & Configuring Windows 10 Preparing for Installation Requirements | 3 docking stations, external keyboards, mice, and monitors. Recently, laptop sales have surpassed desktop PC sales. • Tablet : A computer that is a smaller version of the laptop, with a screen that makes up the body of the computer. Tablets can be used for reading emails, doing presentations, creating reports, taking notes, and so forth. • Hybrid computer : A laptop that can convert to a tablet. These devices typically have faster performance than tablets and include a keyboard for faster typing. • Smartphone: A small device with a screen that can be used to read email, keep track of tasks, access calendar information, manage address books, and run a wide range of applications. Another device worth mentioning is the gaming console, such as Xbox. Although this system is designed to run games, it might also have additional applications and features. Determining Hardware Requirements and Compatibility To determine what you need to install Windows 10, you also need to look at the minimum system requirements for Windows 10. You should also determine if your system is compatible with your current hardware or the hardware you are about to purchase. CERTIFICATION READY The system requirements for Windows 10 are: Determine hardware • Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor requirements and RAM: compatibility • 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32‐bit or 2 GB for 64‐bit Objective 1.1 • Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32‐bit OS or 20 GB for 64‐bit OS • Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver • Display: 800 × 600 Many computers in enterprises today easily meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 10. Although this represents the minimum requirements, in many instances, you should consider twice, four times, or more if you want decent performance or to run more complex and demanding programs. For example, you might consider a quad‐core processor with a minimum of 4 GB of memory. If you are running memory‐intensive applications, such as a CAD station or video processing, you might consider 16 GB or more of memory and an expensive video card with a monitor that supports much higher resolution. Solid‐state drives can also give a performance boost. A computer is a collection of hardware devices, each of which requires a piece of software called a device driver in order to function. Windows 10 includes a large library of device drivers, but it is still sometimes necessary to obtain them yourself from vendors. As most people know, a PC is a collection of hardware devices, all of which are connected together and installed in a single case. Disk drives, keyboards, mice, modems, and printers are all types of devices. To communicate with the operating system running on the computer, each device also requires a software element called a device driver. The device driver provides the operating system with information about a specific device. For example, when you use a word‐processing application to save a file to a hard disk, the appli- cation issues a generic WriteFile function call to the operating system. The application knows nothing specific about the disk drive hardware; it just issues an instruction to store a particular file there. When the operating system processes the function call, it accesses the device driver for the hard disk drive, which provides detailed information about how to communicate with the drive. If the user selects a different target location for the file, the operating system accesses the device driver for that location, whether it’s a hard drive, a floppy drive, or a USB flash drive. MOAC698_c01.indd 3 11/4/2016 9:06:27 PM 4 | Lesson 1 In most cases, the information the device driver provides is integrated into the Windows interface. For example, the Properties sheet for a printer includes generic system information, such as which port the printer is connected to and who is permitted to use it. Other tabs, and particularly the Device Settings tab, are based on hardware‐specific information provided by the device driver. ✚ MORE INFORMATION Devices and Device Manager are covered in Lesson 3. In addition to providing information about a device, drivers also permit the operating system to modify the hardware configuration settings of the device. For example, when you configure a printer to print a document in landscape mode instead of portrait mode, the printer device driver generates the appropriate command and sends it to the hardware. The process of installing a hardware device consists primarily of identifying the device and installing a device driver for it. This process can occur during the operating system installa- tion or at a later time, but the steps are fundamentally the same. A major part of the Windows 10 installation process consists of identifying the devices in the computer and installing the appropriate drivers for them. The Windows 10 installation package includes hundreds of drivers for many different devices, which is why many instal- lations finish without any user intervention. Sometimes, however, you might have to supply device drivers yourself. If you have an older system that contains legacy devices, you might have trouble finding the proper driver for those devices. If the driver is not built in to Windows, you might need to go the device manufacturer’s website to find legacy hardware.

  • How to Set up Cortana (Or Remove Her) in Windows 10
    How to set up Cortana (or remove her) in Windows 10 Cortana, the personal digital assistant feature in Windows 10, will help you complete tasks, make it to your appointments on time, send messages and emails on your behalf, research the web and even launch applications. Orignally released with the Windows Phone (and named after the AI character from Microsoft's Halo franchise, looks to be a key element in the Windows 10 operating system. To begin the set up process, click or tap the microphone icon in the search bar and say "Hey Cortana" (if listening is enabled), followed by your question or search term. When properly set up Cortana is a powerful digital assistant. Start by clicking into the Cortana search box, and waiting for the results pane to appear. In the top- left corner of this, click the “hamburger” menu and then open Notebook. This tool allows you to determine what information Cortana can gather about you, and the more data she has, the more she can do. Cortana will have already asked you to input your name, but you can change this and more by opening About Me. Here, set the name you want her to use. Under Settings you can enable tracking info by switching on Find flights and more, which analyses your emails for such details. The Settings screen also enables you to toggle whether Cortana responds to “Hey, Cortana” which is very similar to Android’s “OK, Google“–the system will constantly be on the look-out for you saying this phrase, and will open Cortana when it is detected.

  • Understanding Windows 10 – a Guide to Help Get You Started Settings
    Understanding Windows 10 – A Guide to Help Get you Started By Jim Hillier – July 14, 2015 https://davescomputertips.com/understanding-windows-10-a-guide-to-help-get-you-started/ Following an initial perusal of Windows 10 it appeared that Microsoft included a lot of changes merely for the sake of change, presumably to help expand the gap between Windows 8 and Windows 10. However, after spending more time working with the new operating system you will realize that statement is incorrect, and here’s why. Settings – The Windows 10 Nerve Center At the very heart of Windows 10 is the ―Settings‖ menu which provides the interface for managing how the operating system displays and behaves. Consequently, a number of previously easily accessible settings/options have been moved into the Settings menus for the sake of centralization. While this may well now force users to dig a little deeper in order to locate a particular setting, I can appreciate the logic behind it, everything in one place, and no fragmentation. Finding “Screen Resolution in Windows 10 For example: Accessing ―Screen Resolution‖ settings has long been a simple matter of selecting the option from the desktop right click menu. Now, in Windows 10, one needs to take a rather more convoluted path: 1. Click Start and then Settings 2. Click System, then click Display(the Display tab should open by default) 3. Click ―Advanced display settings‖ There it is! Adding Desktop Shortcuts to System Locations in Windows 10 This is another setting location that has changed and integrated into the all, encompassing Settings menu.
