Course Overview
The Computer Operations Essentials course is a follow up to Computer Architecture Essentials and will introduce you to modern operating systems. We will focus on windows-based operating systems, though we will also learn about alternative operating systems, including Mac. The course will begin with an overview of the structure of modern operating systems and setting up your virtual machine. Over the course of the subsequent units, you learn to identify, assess, and install software, format hard disks, and manage files. By the end of this 12-hour course, you will be able to install and manage an operating system, manage software and perform common operations using both graphical and command-line interfaces.
