Performance according to client requirements:
I diligently recorded user issues and faults, providing detailed explanations of encountered problems and the steps taken to
resolve them. This facilitated quick debugging and resolution, minimising operational disruptions and meeting the client's
expectations for prompt and effective support services. By efficiently carrying out these routine IT support tasks and following
best practices, I ensured the reliability, security, and alignment of the client's IT infrastructure with their business needs and
expectations.

Software Management
Installing and setting up a new operating system software
Before turning on the computer to begin installing the new operating system, I checked the computer to ensure that all its
components were connected. That is; the mouse, keyboard, and monitor were to be connected to the system unit and a
power source. (refer to images below)
Once this was done, I inserted the installation media, which was the USB drive containing the operating system. I turned on
the PC and pressed F10 to open the BIOS settings, where I selected the installation media for booting the software. I then
followed the prompts provided by the installation wizard to select the language, keyboard layout, and disk partitioning
options. (refer to images below)
