Chapter 2. Maintaining and Documenting Computer Systems

A large part of your day-to-day duties as a PC tech will involve maintaining computer and server systems and documenting your work. Many people don't think a great deal about the paperwork side of IT, but despite the promise of a "paperless society" at the advent of the information age, documentation is still a large part of nearly everyone's workday.

That being said, you will still find plenty of hands-on work to do with computer systems.

You will discover how to leverage those elementary exercises and learn how to perform regular maintenance tasks on computers.
