Week 5 - Peripherals and Windows Installation

    This week, we reviewed peripherals and Windows installation. We also wrote a paper on installing an optical drive.
    It was interesting to learn that most peripherals are supported by generic drivers provided with Windows. However, to utilize a peripheral's full potential, it may be necessary to download the specific driver for that peripheral. 
    We reviewed steps to install an optical drive. This enabled me to see the advancement from PATA\IDE to SATA. PATA/IDE used to use master and slave settings for drives, whereas SATA connects directly to the motherboard, allowing each drive to operate independently.
    In the discussion we had about installing an operating system, I received a reply that a person was required to remove laptops from Intune and add them again after performing a fresh start. I have never run into this issue, so it sparked my interest in what might cause it. I found that misconfigured policies could require removing a device from Intune and adding it again. This further supports the need for accuracy in an IT position. 
    Have you run into any issues that were caused by poor attention to detail or poor documentation? What was the situation, and how did you overcome it?
