Today was my first day at my practicum at Bargain Bytes. My inital thoughts when i went in there were me mostly being nervous about first impressions which i think i made a good first impression. For the first part of the day I mostly was doing fresh installation of Windows 7, and I was also being shown how to install certain drivers for the computer with discs, which in class we installed drivers online or from USB so it was a nice change.
Another thing i did today was i learned about how to maneuver around a very small case with a mini-atx power supply on a very small case. Afterwards i got to work on a very similar case, (except this one was very dirty from cigarette smoke) and recover RAM from a garbage computer. Everything was so tight together that I had to remove the front part of the case of the computer and move the disk drive just to get to the RAM. After that I did a bunch of virus scanning along with CCleaner.
All in all It was very fun just looking around a seeing all the computers and parts all around. Today was a great learning experience for me. I am excited for tomorrow to experience more.
