Exam 70-620: Troubleshooting Post-Installation System Settings
Although you can usually resolve all problems with a computer during or just after performing an installation, some problems become apparent only after you have used the new operating system for a few days. The same applies to purchasing a car. A problem that you might not notice when you drive around the block with the salesperson might become obvious after you have driven the car for a week. Post-installation troubleshooting is about finding the initial quirks that you missed and personalizing the computer so that it best meets your needs. Primarily, this is going to be ensuring that all hardware that is installed on the computer is actually working and that the computer’s display settings suit the person using the computer rather than the person who set up the computer. In this chapter, we also examine Microsoft Windows Aero. Aero makes Windows Vista look significantly different from earlier versions of Windows. If you are working in a job trying to sell new computers to customers, you can underline the difference between the new and the old by demonstrating some of Windows Aero’s functionality. Finally, this chapter looks at the Windows Product Activation and Windows Genuine Advantage processes.
