Due Thursday

Chapter 11 goes into great detail regarding operating systems and the individual components of the Windows operating systems. In order to be classified as an operating system, our readings state that the system must provide a user interface and be able to manage files, hardware, and applications. Personally, I would add managing users in here, as I do not believe a modern operating system exists that does not allow for multiple users. IT support technicians should be a power user of Windows 10 and familiar with Windows 8/7.

For example, The Windows 10/8/7 Snipping Tool can help you take screenshots of the Windows desktop. These screenshots are useful when documenting computer problems and solutions. The Windows Snipping Tool can help you take screen shots of the Windows desktop. These screen shots are useful when documenting computer problems and solutions.

In a minimum of 175 words, describe at least 3 Windows operating system tools or utilities discussed in Chapter 11 or researched on the Internet that IT support technicians should know how to use.
