00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,340
In the last lesson, you learned
2
00:00:02,340 --> 00:00:04,305
how an operating
system boots up.
3
00:00:04,305 --> 00:00:05,820
It's an important concept to
4
00:00:05,820 --> 00:00:07,230
understand since you'll be faced
5
00:00:07,230 --> 00:00:09,900
with troubleshooting boot
up issues in IT support.
6
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:11,850
Now, we're going to walk
through the steps to
7
00:00:11,850 --> 00:00:14,160
select and install
an operating system.
8
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,350
We're going to focus
on operating systems
9
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:17,940
in the IT space.
10
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:19,800
First, we'll talk about deciding
11
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,785
which operating system to
install in a business setting.
12
00:00:22,785 --> 00:00:24,420
Second, we'll dive into
13
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,690
the overall process of
installing an operating system.
14
00:00:27,690 --> 00:00:31,160
How do you decide which
operating system to install?
15
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,950
Well, you need to ask yourself
a couple of questions.
16
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:35,615
Has the decision
already been made?
17
00:00:35,615 --> 00:00:38,480
The operating systems in
use by an organization have
18
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:39,920
a lot to do with
the applications
19
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,845
and systems that
they need to run.
20
00:00:41,845 --> 00:00:44,270
Are you working with an
organization or service that
21
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:47,005
requires the use of a
specific operating system?
22
00:00:47,005 --> 00:00:49,100
If so, you're done.
That was easy.
23
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,830
If a decision hasn't been
made on what OS to use
24
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:52,895
or if you're looking for an
25
00:00:52,895 --> 00:00:54,830
operating system
for personal use,
26
00:00:54,830 --> 00:00:56,390
then you need to
ask yourself what
27
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:57,980
software will need to be run on
28
00:00:57,980 --> 00:01:00,260
this device and lots of cases
29
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:01,820
the software will
be designed to run
30
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:03,965
on a specific operating system.
31
00:01:03,965 --> 00:01:07,280
It's also possible that the
software is cross-platform,
32
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,995
meaning it can run on more
than one operating system.
33
00:01:09,995 --> 00:01:11,225
Another question to ask,
34
00:01:11,225 --> 00:01:12,740
is what hardware will be used?
35
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:14,090
Modern operating systems do
36
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:16,900
a pretty good job of
supporting common hardware.
37
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:20,120
You should keep in mind that
some manufacturers allow
38
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,545
their operating system to be
39
00:01:21,545 --> 00:01:23,450
only installed on
their hardware.
40
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:25,220
There's one more thing
I should call out.
41
00:01:25,220 --> 00:01:28,175
Remember that we have
different CPU architectures,
42
00:01:28,175 --> 00:01:30,505
32-bit and 64-bit.
43
00:01:30,505 --> 00:01:32,330
Our operating systems will also
44
00:01:32,330 --> 00:01:34,340
be optimized for
this architecture.
45
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:37,835
Make sure that the CPU
and OS are compatible.
46
00:01:37,835 --> 00:01:40,235
If you have a 64-bit CPU,
47
00:01:40,235 --> 00:01:42,425
you should also install
the 64-bit version
48
00:01:42,425 --> 00:01:44,395
of the operating
system you choose.
49
00:01:44,395 --> 00:01:46,130
Okay, now that you've
50
00:01:46,130 --> 00:01:48,275
chosen an operating system
that you want to use,
51
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:51,055
let's work on getting it
installed on our hardware.
52
00:01:51,055 --> 00:01:52,520
Many computers come with
53
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,320
an operating system
pre-installed.
54
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,390
If you boot the computer
in this condition,
55
00:01:56,390 --> 00:01:58,190
the operating system
will continue
56
00:01:58,190 --> 00:02:00,770
from whatever point
the vendor left it at.
57
00:02:00,770 --> 00:02:02,510
You'll need to do
a couple of things
58
00:02:02,510 --> 00:02:03,890
to finish the installation,
59
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:06,485
like choosing a computer
name or host name,
60
00:02:06,485 --> 00:02:08,885
or configuring the
network for the device.
61
00:02:08,885 --> 00:02:10,160
If you're going to be installing
62
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,825
an operating system
from scratch,
63
00:02:11,825 --> 00:02:14,290
you can use different
installation media.
64
00:02:14,290 --> 00:02:16,670
Some operating system
manufacturers sell
65
00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:20,290
their operating system in
disk form or USB form.
66
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:23,180
Some let you do reinstalls
directly over the Internet.
67
00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:25,010
As an IT support specialist,
68
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:27,350
you will install an
operating system many times,
69
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:29,360
so using one single disk
70
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,595
won't be time-efficient
or scalable.
71
00:02:31,595 --> 00:02:33,110
Scalability is
72
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:35,180
an important concept
that we'll cover later.
73
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:37,250
If you want to scale
or accommodate
74
00:02:37,250 --> 00:02:39,590
multiple computers
the added support
75
00:02:39,590 --> 00:02:41,545
is something you need
to keep in mind.
76
00:02:41,545 --> 00:02:44,625
For now you're only
working with one computer,
77
00:02:44,625 --> 00:02:45,815
so let's focus on that.
78
00:02:45,815 --> 00:02:47,405
Let's just use a USB drive
79
00:02:47,405 --> 00:02:49,555
to install your
operating system.
80
00:02:49,555 --> 00:02:52,790
Most manufacturers have
their own special USB drives
81
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:55,205
with the installation
image like Windows.
82
00:02:55,205 --> 00:02:59,580
For Linux, we can load up
an OS onto any USB drive.
