1 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,010 - [Narrator] To start this lesson, 2 00:00:08,010 --> 00:00:11,220 let's do a quick overview of a typical laptop. 3 00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:14,550 And we'll start with the basic components of this system. 4 00:00:14,550 --> 00:00:18,300 Here, we see the display, which is blank right now, 5 00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:21,150 will boot up the laptop in a little bit. 6 00:00:21,150 --> 00:00:24,947 Above that we have a webcam and little tiny microphones. 7 00:00:24,947 --> 00:00:28,653 Underneath here, we have the speakers for the laptop, 8 00:00:29,490 --> 00:00:31,413 and here is the power button. 9 00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:35,550 Underneath that we have the keyboard. 10 00:00:35,550 --> 00:00:37,671 And one thing I'd like to point out here 11 00:00:37,671 --> 00:00:42,210 is the F1 through F12 keys. 12 00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:44,250 These are the function keys, 13 00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:47,640 but they have secondary functions on this laptop. 14 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,790 For example, this is the F2 key right here. 15 00:00:51,790 --> 00:00:55,680 And, normally that would get you into, say the BIOS, 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,740 and it might do other things within your operating system 17 00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:00,810 but it has a secondary function. 18 00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:03,720 And to activate that secondary function we'd press 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,680 this fn key the function key. 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,393 So we'd press this and F2 at the same time. 21 00:01:11,393 --> 00:01:14,310 That key's secondary function 22 00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:18,404 is to reduce the brightness of the display. 23 00:01:18,404 --> 00:01:21,840 Another example, the F12 key over here 24 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,790 has a secondary function 25 00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:26,430 of toggling the wireless connection. 26 00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:30,120 So it'll enable or disable the wireless. 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,950 So if you're ever troubleshooting wireless 28 00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:34,015 you can check that, press the function key 29 00:01:34,015 --> 00:01:36,630 and press that wireless key 30 00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:40,080 and see if the wireless turns on in your notification area 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,393 or elsewhere in your operating system. 32 00:01:43,502 --> 00:01:46,710 Beneath that, we have the touch pad, 33 00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:49,530 which you can use to single tap, 34 00:01:49,530 --> 00:01:53,130 double tap, swipe, or click. 35 00:01:53,130 --> 00:01:54,960 And it also comes with buttons 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,960 on the bottom left and right to emulate a mouse's buttons. 37 00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:04,560 And that's the main components of this particular laptop. 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,310 Let's go ahead and take a look at the ports 39 00:02:08,310 --> 00:02:09,960 that we have on this system. 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,310 So we'll close this and we'll take a look here. 41 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,950 And so to start, we'll start on the left side. 42 00:02:16,950 --> 00:02:19,140 Here, we have the power connection, 43 00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:21,813 which is for our AC adapter, 44 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,750 which we'll plug in in a minute. 45 00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:27,607 Here, We have an RJ45 port, 46 00:02:27,607 --> 00:02:30,660 and that's for the wired ethernet connection, 47 00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:32,650 which will also plug and connect to 48 00:02:33,590 --> 00:02:35,730 the wired local area network. 49 00:02:35,730 --> 00:02:38,790 And here we have two USB ports. 50 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:41,520 These are USB version three or higher, 51 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,593 and we know that because they are blue. 52 00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:46,890 And then here we have exhaust vents. 53 00:02:46,890 --> 00:02:49,230 Very important to keep these clear 54 00:02:49,230 --> 00:02:52,263 and make sure you're getting the heat out of the laptop. 55 00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:56,100 And turn it around here to the right side. 56 00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:57,960 Here, we have an audio port 57 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,080 that's an one-eighth inch TRS jack 58 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,910 which you can use with your headphones or headset. 59 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:07,740 Here we have a USB port. 60 00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:10,770 This is black, so it's only 2.0. 61 00:03:10,770 --> 00:03:14,250 And then here we have an HDMI port for video, 62 00:03:14,250 --> 00:03:17,040 so we can connect an external monitor, 63 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,040 and get a second display going with this laptop. 64 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,410 Over here, we have a lock port, 65 00:03:22,410 --> 00:03:24,360 and if you're gonna use a cable lock, 66 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,700 with the laptop to secure it, 67 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:28,200 and keep it kind of stationary, 68 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,950 so it doesn't walk away, so to speak. 69 00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:34,980 On the front of the laptop, we have a couple lights, 70 00:03:34,980 --> 00:03:37,380 and these may be a little difficult to make out, 71 00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:43,440 but on the left, we have the charging light and power light. 72 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,683 And on the right here, we have the Wi-Fi light, 73 00:03:47,574 --> 00:03:49,833 tells you if Wi-Fi is working. 74 00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:54,603 On the back, this has a battery, 75 00:03:56,310 --> 00:03:59,910 and it's secured by two screws. 76 00:03:59,910 --> 00:04:03,000 And then we have lots of other screws 77 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,090 that keep the bottom plate in place. 78 00:04:06,090 --> 00:04:10,530 And some other vents for releasing heat from the laptop. 79 00:04:10,530 --> 00:04:12,540 We'll be taking apart this laptop 80 00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:14,430 as we go through the lessons 81 00:04:14,430 --> 00:04:17,380 and showing how to upgrade the system 82 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,160 and troubleshoot some of the parts that are within here. 83 00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:27,974 And so, for example, this is actually a much older laptop. 84 00:04:27,974 --> 00:04:29,610 It's probably five or six years old right now, 85 00:04:29,610 --> 00:04:31,020 but I still use it. 86 00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:34,950 And this particular one runs Windows 10 Professional 87 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:37,320 and it runs it fairly well because I upgraded it. 88 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,280 I upgraded the hard drive to a faster solid state drive. 89 00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:45,270 And then I increased the RAM and put in faster RAM. 90 00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:48,030 I actually have another one of these systems, 91 00:04:48,030 --> 00:04:53,030 and it's the same laptop basically, but it runs Fedora. 92 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,750 And so this particular system, if we look here, 93 00:04:57,750 --> 00:05:02,340 this is a Toshiba Satellite E45-B4100. 94 00:05:02,340 --> 00:05:04,020 So if I ever need parts, 95 00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:06,870 or if I need to troubleshoot this system, 96 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:08,490 or look at the documentation, 97 00:05:08,490 --> 00:05:13,203 I know the exact model number for this particular brand. 98 00:05:14,039 --> 00:05:16,590 Let's go ahead and boot up this system. 99 00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:19,860 And the first thing I wanna do is plug in the power, 100 00:05:19,860 --> 00:05:21,870 and I've already plugged in the other side there, 101 00:05:21,870 --> 00:05:24,573 and we'll plug in the wired ethernet patch cable. 102 00:05:25,650 --> 00:05:28,050 And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna press the power button. 103 00:05:28,050 --> 00:05:31,260 But before I do that, I wanna let you know what I'm doing. 104 00:05:31,260 --> 00:05:33,960 First, I'm gonna boot into the BIOS of this system, 105 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,810 so I can show you a typical BIOS on a laptop. 106 00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:41,190 And to do that on this system, we press the F2 key. 107 00:05:41,190 --> 00:05:43,650 So you just need the F2 key for this. 108 00:05:43,650 --> 00:05:47,100 Other systems, it might be F1, or it could be delete, 109 00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:48,870 or perhaps another key stroke. 110 00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:53,400 Depends on the manufacturer and the BIOS that's being used. 111 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,990 So I'm gonna press the power button 112 00:05:54,990 --> 00:05:57,300 and immediately press the F2 key 113 00:05:57,300 --> 00:05:59,463 to attempt to get into the BIOS. 114 00:06:01,980 --> 00:06:04,920 And repeatedly press that F2 key. 115 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:05,753 And we're in. 116 00:06:06,750 --> 00:06:10,020 And you can see we're in the Toshiba setup utility. 117 00:06:10,020 --> 00:06:12,390 They actually don't make these laptops anymore, 118 00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:15,600 but laptops like these that are older, 119 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,230 may be very beneficial to you for the learning process. 120 00:06:19,230 --> 00:06:23,310 You can find inexpensive laptops 121 00:06:23,310 --> 00:06:25,890 within online auction websites, 122 00:06:25,890 --> 00:06:28,020 on the classifieds, and so on. 123 00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:30,660 And perhaps they might work fine as-is, 124 00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:32,580 or you may wanna upgrade them. 125 00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:35,580 So it's an inexpensive way to really try 126 00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:38,520 and educate yourself with the hardware 127 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,143 and with some software as well. 128 00:06:41,010 --> 00:06:43,463 And you can see here that this has 129 00:06:43,463 --> 00:06:47,280 an Intel Core i5-5200 CPU, 130 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,740 which is a 2.2 gigahertz CPU. 131 00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:52,803 I've increased the RAM to 16 gigabytes. 132 00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:57,240 And you can see it says 16,384 megabytes, 133 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,670 that is 16 gigabytes. 134 00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:02,010 And I've changed the hard drive 135 00:07:02,010 --> 00:07:07,010 to a Samsung SSD, a solid state drive. 136 00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:09,813 And I'll show that process in another video. 137 00:07:11,340 --> 00:07:12,660 And we have lots of options here, 138 00:07:12,660 --> 00:07:14,970 we can modify security, power management, 139 00:07:14,970 --> 00:07:17,370 advanced options, and so on, and so on, 140 00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:20,070 change the time and date here, if we need to, 141 00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:22,230 all that is done in the BIOS. 142 00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:27,093 And the BIOS is the underlying system underneath of Windows, 143 00:07:28,110 --> 00:07:30,480 or whatever other operating system you're running, 144 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,473 like Linux. 145 00:07:32,970 --> 00:07:35,760 So it's important that this is configured properly 146 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,990 in order for your operating system to work correctly. 147 00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:41,490 I'm not gonna make any changes here, 148 00:07:41,490 --> 00:07:42,870 I just wanted to show it, 149 00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:46,560 but we'll be showing this more in future videos. 150 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,670 So for now, 151 00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:51,240 I'm just gonna press the escape key to close out, 152 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,220 and it tells you what to do here 153 00:07:53,220 --> 00:07:55,380 in the legend at the bottom right. 154 00:07:55,380 --> 00:07:59,730 If you need help, press F1, that's the universal help key. 155 00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:02,790 If you want the defaults for the system, press F9. 156 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:06,600 To save any changes you make and exit, press F10. 157 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,240 Or to just get out without saving anything, 158 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,620 just press escape. 159 00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:12,030 And I'm gonna do that now. 160 00:08:12,030 --> 00:08:16,110 And when we do so we'll say yes to exit, discarding changes, 161 00:08:16,110 --> 00:08:19,320 even though I didn't make any changes, press enter, 162 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,473 and it should boot into Windows. 163 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,060 Alright, and here is the Windows system. 164 00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:31,500 At this point, I'm gonna log in. 165 00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:34,833 I'm just gonna press the enter key and type in my password. 166 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,410 And even for an older laptop, 167 00:08:37,410 --> 00:08:40,590 it booted into Windows pretty quickly. 168 00:08:40,590 --> 00:08:43,410 It took longer probably to log in 169 00:08:43,410 --> 00:08:45,720 than it did to boot up the system. 170 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,487 If your profile is large, 171 00:08:47,487 --> 00:08:49,590 it could take a long time to log in, 172 00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:51,720 regardless of what the system is. 173 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,640 But you'll notice that this is an older system, 174 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,223 but it actually booted Windows pretty quick. 175 00:08:57,060 --> 00:08:59,010 Alright, so we'll get rid of these messages. 176 00:08:59,010 --> 00:09:01,830 And at this point we are in Windows 10 Professional, 177 00:09:01,830 --> 00:09:06,510 and now I'm going to go and share the screen off, 178 00:09:06,510 --> 00:09:08,340 so that we can see it a little bit easier, 179 00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:10,440 and show a couple things within Windows, 180 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,830 and a couple of things that you want to look for 181 00:09:13,830 --> 00:09:16,593 in any operating system that you're working in. 182 00:09:17,460 --> 00:09:20,580 So I've shared my Windows 10 system 183 00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:22,230 so that you can see the screen, 184 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:25,320 and you can see everything a little bit bigger here. 185 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,760 And I always recommend 186 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,610 that you get to know the operating system, 187 00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:30,930 navigate through the system 188 00:09:30,930 --> 00:09:33,090 and get to know all of its parts, 189 00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:37,170 especially these four components. 190 00:09:37,170 --> 00:09:39,570 First, files. 191 00:09:39,570 --> 00:09:42,423 Know how to get to the files and how to open them. 192 00:09:43,710 --> 00:09:46,110 Second, settings. 193 00:09:46,110 --> 00:09:48,210 Know how to get to your settings 194 00:09:48,210 --> 00:09:50,373 and how to configure your system. 195 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,350 Third, a web browser. 196 00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:58,320 Make sure that you know how to use at least one web browser, 197 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,320 the built-in one, within the system. 198 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,100 And fourth, how to use the command line. 199 00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,800 Whatever that command line program is 200 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,320 for your operating system. 201 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,430 So, let's show these four on this Windows 10 system 202 00:10:14,430 --> 00:10:15,990 as an example. 203 00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:17,910 And we'll start with files. 204 00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:20,100 In Windows, we use File Explorer, 205 00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:22,380 and you can see there's an icon here for it. 206 00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:24,270 That's this little folder, 207 00:10:24,270 --> 00:10:27,420 but if you don't know where something is, 208 00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:32,100 you can go through the start menu and try to search for it, 209 00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:34,860 or, and this might be your best bet, 210 00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:36,000 because you're gonna be working 211 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,950 in a lot of operating systems 212 00:10:37,950 --> 00:10:40,020 and a lot of different applications, 213 00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:43,053 get to know how to use the search tool. 214 00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:45,630 So, here's the search tool. 215 00:10:45,630 --> 00:10:49,800 If we click on that and we type File Explorer, 216 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,072 it'll bring up that File Explorer app 217 00:10:52,072 --> 00:10:54,600 and we can just click on it to bring it up, 218 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,170 and then we can work with our files and folders. 219 00:10:58,170 --> 00:10:59,250 So that's the first thing, 220 00:10:59,250 --> 00:11:02,640 make sure you can get to the files on your system. 221 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,920 The second thing is to make sure 222 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,840 you can get to the settings. 223 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,650 In Windows 10, there's two places to do your configurations. 224 00:11:10,650 --> 00:11:13,920 There's settings, and there's the control panel. 225 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,150 And let's start with settings. 226 00:11:15,150 --> 00:11:16,941 If we go to the search once again, 227 00:11:16,941 --> 00:11:20,130 and just type settings, there we go. 228 00:11:20,130 --> 00:11:22,080 And here's our settings app. 229 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,500 If I click on that, it brings up all the various settings 230 00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:30,500 on Windows 10, and we're gonna go through settings 231 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,640 and all of these categories 232 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,793 in more depth in a later video. 233 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,960 We'll also show other ways to open the settings app. 234 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,620 But the second option in Windows 10 is the control panel. 235 00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:48,720 And again, a variety of ways to open that, 236 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,610 but if we go to the search once again, 237 00:11:50,610 --> 00:11:54,720 and just type control panel, you'll see that app. 238 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,100 And open that up, and you'll see all the various icons here, 239 00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:03,420 and different things that you can do in the control panel. 240 00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:04,710 Now you may say, 241 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:08,940 why have two different sets of configuration settings? 242 00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:12,390 Well, the control panel is the older location, 243 00:12:12,390 --> 00:12:15,000 and settings is the newer location. 244 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,290 And Windows has been slowly moving 245 00:12:19,290 --> 00:12:24,290 and gravitating from the control panel over to settings. 246 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,130 But for now, you're probably gonna need to 247 00:12:26,130 --> 00:12:28,803 know both when you're working in a system. 248 00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:35,310 Okay, and the fourth option is the command line. 249 00:12:35,310 --> 00:12:38,563 Now in Windows 10, we have three options. 250 00:12:38,563 --> 00:12:43,500 You have the command prompt and the PowerShell in Windows, 251 00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:45,210 and then you can access those 252 00:12:45,210 --> 00:12:47,763 with another program called Terminal. 253 00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:51,810 And so you wanna be able to find these. 254 00:12:51,810 --> 00:12:54,960 Now again, variety of ways to search for these tools, 255 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,910 but the best way is to just use the search utility. 256 00:12:59,910 --> 00:13:03,030 So if we click on that, we can type in, Command Prompt, 257 00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:05,160 and you'll see the Command Prompt app, 258 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,332 or you can type in PowerShell, 259 00:13:08,332 --> 00:13:10,920 and you'll see the PowerShell app. 260 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,700 And the third option is to run the Terminal. 261 00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:18,750 Inside Terminal, you can run PowerShell or Command Prompt, 262 00:13:18,750 --> 00:13:21,000 and a variety of other things as well. 263 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,120 We'll talk about all of that more later, 264 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,400 but for now, let's just open PowerShell, 265 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,040 because I think that's what you're gonna want to use 266 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,083 the most in the field. 267 00:13:32,130 --> 00:13:33,933 So we'll press enter for PowerShell, 268 00:13:34,830 --> 00:13:38,730 and you can see that brings up a command line for us, 269 00:13:38,730 --> 00:13:41,460 and we can do whatever it is we need to do here. 270 00:13:41,460 --> 00:13:46,460 Whether it's connect to websites externally, 271 00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:48,630 ping them to see if they exist, 272 00:13:48,630 --> 00:13:51,060 and see if we have a network connection, 273 00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:55,050 or run the Dir command, or whatever else we need to do. 274 00:13:55,050 --> 00:13:56,700 And again, we'll spend a lot of time 275 00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:59,790 in the command line through the videos in this course, 276 00:13:59,790 --> 00:14:02,400 but I just wanna make sure that you know how 277 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,400 to open all of these various apps in Windows, 278 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,653 or in any other operating system you're working in.
