The best IT support technicians are the ones who continually teach themselves new skills. You can teach yourself to use and support Windows by using the web, a couple of apps in Windows 10 called Get Help and Tips, or the Windows Help and Support utility in Windows 8/7. To start the apps in Windows 10, type get help in the search box or type tips in the search box. In Windows 8, type Help and Support on the Start screen. In Windows 7, click Start and then click Help and Support. If you are connected to the Internet, clicking links can take you to the Microsoft website, where you can find information and watch videos about Windows.
Complete the following steps to research a topic so you can become an independent learner about Windows:
- 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. Use Get Help or Windows Help and Support to find out how to use the Snipping Tool. Use it to take a screenshot of your Windows desktop. Save the screenshot into a file on a USB flash drive or on the hard drive. Print the file contents.
- Visit Microsoft Support for Windows support. Save or print one article from the Knowledge Base that addresses a problem when installing Windows 10/8/7.
- Search the web to learn the purpose of the pagefile.sys file. What website did you use to find your answer? Why do people consider the Microsoft website the best source for information about the pagefile.sys file?
In a minimum of 175 words, summarize your experience and share other sources you found with the class. Why do you think these other sources are useful as compared to the Microsoft website?

You can use the Disk Management tool or the diskpart command to create a virtual hard drive (VHD) on a physical computer. The VHD is a file that takes up some free space on the physical hard drive, but to the Windows interface it appears as a second hard drive. You can store data in folders and files on the VHD and even install Windows in the VHD. Follow these steps to create a VHD:
- In Disk Management, click Actionin the menu bar and click Create VHD. Follow the on-screen directions to create the VHD, specifying its location on the hard drive and its size. You can make the size dynamically expanding. The VHD is listed as a Disk in the Disk Management window.
- Right-click the new disk and click Initialize Disk. Use the GPT partitioning system for the disk.
- To format the disk, right-click the unallocated space on the disk and click New Simple Volume. The VHD is now ready for use and appears in File Explorer or Windows Explorer as a new volume.
Research online how a VHD might be useful. What are two uses of a VHD in which it offers advantages over using a physical hard drive? When is a physical hard drive more advantageous than a VHD?
