Restoring User Data Files (If Applicable)

Remember when you backed up the user data files before your upgrade

installation? You don’t? Well, check again, because now is the time to restore

that data. Your method of restoring depends on how you backed up the files

in the first place. If you used a third-party backup program, you need to

install it before you can restore those files, but if you used Backup and

Restore, you are in luck, because they are installed by default. If you did

something simpler, such as copying to optical discs, USB or other external

drive, or a network location, all you have to do is copy the files back to the

local hard drive. Good luck!

NOTE Backup and Restore is called Backup and Restore (Windows 7) in

Windows 10.

Install Essential Software

The final step in the installation process is to install the software that makes

the computer work the way you or your client wants. If you install software

that requires a license key, have it ready. Similarly, if you install subscription

software such as Microsoft Office 365, make sure you have accurate user

names and passwords available. Don’t forget to install Steam and download

essential leisure applications!

EXAM TIP Look for a question on the CompTIA A+ 1002 exam that

addresses the final steps in the installation process—driver installation,

software [installation], and Windows update.
