| Description: | This course dives into the details of the various Windows operating systems covered by the CompTIA A+ Certification exam. The Intermediate CompTIA A+ Certification Prep course teaches you how to install, maintain, configure, and upgrade all current versions of Windows: NT, 9x, 2000, and XP. You'll also learn how to use the DOS-style command line for performing tech tasks. Requirements: Successful completion of the Basic CompTIA A+ Certification Prep course; Internet access with e-mail and a current Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape; access to a PC running Windows 9x, and a PC running Windows 2000 or XP, so that you can learn the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between these two families of Windows. Although this course focuses on operating systems, you should have access to a hard drive that you can install, format, and partition, and to a couple of Plug and Play devices that you can practice installing. Because of the dangers of electro-static discharge (to the machine, not the student), we do not require you to tear apart your own primary computer (and definitely do not recommend that you format or partition your primary hard drive!). |
