The UAC in Windwos complicates the installation process a bit. you will most likely be prompted by UAC when installing an application, giving you time to reveiw what is happening to your system in case you did not intend to install the program. If you are using an administartor account, you can simply click Continue and finish the installation. Should you be logged in with a less privileged account, yuou will need to enter a user name and password of an account with administrative privileges. Some installers have trouble letting UAC know that they need more privileges and simply fail no matter what account you are logged in with. In those cases, it is best to right-0click the installer icon and select Run as administrator to give the installer the access it expects from the start.

Assuming all is well, you typically must accpet the terms of a software license before you can isntall an application. These steps are not optional; the installation simply won't procesed until you accept all terms the software manufacturer requires and, in many cases, enter a correct code. You cmay also be asked to make several decisions during the installation process. For example, you may be asked to make several decisions during the installation process. For example, you may be asked where you would like to install the program and if you would like certain optional components installed. Generally speacking, it is best to accept the suggested settings unless you have a very specific reason for changing the defaults.

Installing Software in Mac OS X
You have a couple of options for installing software in Mac OS X. The most common method involves the Mac App Store; the link is in System Preferences. Installing via the App Store is pretty much just like installing an app on a cell phone. You click the Install button, add some credentials, and the app installs.

Alternatively, you can download installation programs, often .dmg files, that you drag to the Applications folder. Mac OS X will prompt you to accomplish this goal.

installing Software in Linux
Linux distros differ in the process of installing applications. A common way is to download an installation file, double-click it, and select Install from the options. Applications generally install into the Applications folder.

Exam Tip
Mac OS X and Linux require you to type in root credentials every time you install anything. Many times, you'll get prompted a few more times for credentials before the installation completes.

Removing Software
Each installed application program takes up space on your computer's hard drive, and programs that you no longer need waste space that could be used for other purposes. Removing unnecessary programs can be an important piece of optimization.

You rmeove a program from a Windows PC in much the same manner as you install it. That is, you use the application's own uninstall program, when possible. You normally find the uninstall program listed in the application's folder in the All Programs section of the Start menu, as shown in Figure 15-16.

If an uninstall program is not available, use the Programs and Features applet to remove the software (see Figure 15-17). You select the program you want to remove and click the Uninstall/Change button or Change/Remove button. Windows displays a message warning you that the program will be permanently removed from you PC. If you're certain you want to continue, click Yes.

...

Note: The Uninstall/Change and Change/Remove buttons change depending on the program. Not all programs can be changed.

hell yeah dude.

...

You may then see a message telling you that a shared file that appears to no longer be in tuse ifs about to be deleted, and asking your approval. Generally speaking, it's safe to delete such files. If you do not delete them, they will likely be orphaned and remain unused on your hard disk forever. In some cases, clicking the Uninstall/Change or Change/Remove button starts the application's install program (the one you couldn't find before) so you can modify the installed features. This is a function of the program you're attempting to remove. The end result should be the removal of the application and all of its pieces and parts, including files and Registry entries.

Uninstalling applications in Mac OS X varies based on how they were installed. Mac Store apps are removed very similarly to apps on a cell phone. First, open the Launchpad app from the Dock or Applciations folder (it looks like a rocket ship), then click and hold on any appicon until all the icons start to wiggle. An x in a circle will appear on the upper left of any app that can be removed (see Figure 15-18). Click the x to remove the app. If you accidentally remove an app you wanted, you can re-download it from the Mac App Store.

Mac is annoying.

For all other Mac OS X apps, removing them comes down to two options. Drag the app to the Trash or run the uninstaller if the app came with one. Of the tow, the first option of just deleting the app is the most common, with a dedicated uninstaller only being availabe for some the larger (and oftern cross-platform) apps like Photoshop. Be aware that deleting an app can leave behind various files on the system, most often a few user preference files and other customizations in the user's Library folder.

...

Removing software in mainstream Linux distros is just as easy as isntalling it. Open hte software maanger, find the app, and then click Remove (see Figure 15-19). The underlying package manager, which we'll work with directly in Chapter 16, "Working with the Command-line Interface," will handle all the deleting and cleanup for you.

...

Adding or Removing Windows Components/Features
When you installed Windows, it included certain features by default. It installed Notepad, network support, and games on your computer. You can remove these Windows components from your system if you like, and add other components as well.

Open the Programs and Features applet in the Control Panel, and then click the Turn Windows features on or off option on the Tasks list. Click Continue if prompted by UAC and you will be presented with the Windows Features dialog box (see Figure 15-20). To toggle a feature on or off, simply click its checkbox.

Installing/Optimizing a Device
The processes for optimizing hardware in windows are absolutely identical between the versions, even down to the troubleshooting utilities, and are very similar to the steps for installing a new device. The installation process is covered in every chapter of this book that deals with one type of device or another. You should also recall the optimization and troubleshooting processes you read about specifically way back in Chapter 7. (Refer to that chapter to refresh your memory if any of the following steps don't seem crystal clear.) So, these are the important steps/action items:

Sauce?

Update the drivers, usually from the manufacturer's Web site.

Verify that the device works properly.

If the drivers prove buggy, use the driver rollback feautre to restore the older drivers.

Never run beta drivers.

The textbook version of this book has a classroom feature called a "Cross check" where students examine older sections of the book in light of the current section.

This completely applies right now in this book too! Check Chapter 7, "Motherboards," and make sure you can answer these questions : What's the update process? Does Windows provide any assistance? Where can you verify a working device? What do you need to select to roll back a driver? Inquiring minds want to know!

Updating Drivers in Mac OS X
Mac OS X will notify you about available system updates that contain driver updates for built-in components. Make a quick trip to the App Store to get updates installed (see Figure 15-21). If the system has third-party devices, like a Wacom tablet, you will need to manually check and update any drivers for those devices.

Updating Drivers in Linux
Most Linus distros regularly check for updates and will signal any new updates. Download and install the updates using the Software Updater.

...

Device Manager
You've worked with Device Manager in other chapters when installing and troubleshooting devices; it's also the tool to use when optimizing device drivers. Right-click on a device in Device Manager to display the context menu. From here you can update or uninstall the driver, disable the device, scan for hardware changes, or display the Properties dialog box. When you open the Properties dialog box, you'll see several tabs that vary according to the specific device. Most have General, Driver, Details, and Resources. The tab that matters most for optimization is the Driver tab.

The Driver tab has buttons labeled Driver Details, update Driver, Roll Back Driver, Uninstall, and Disable. Most of these you'll recall from Chapter 7. Driver Details lists the driver files and their locations on disk.

Adding a New Device
Windows should automatically detect any new device you install in your system. If Windows does not detect a newly connected device, use Windows Vista's Add Hardware wizard, which you can find in the Add Hardware applet, or the Add a device option in the Devices and Printers applet in Windows 7/8/8.1//10 to get the device recognized and drivers isntalled (see Figure 15-22).

Windows almost completely automates the Add Hardware/Add a device wizards. The wizards present you with a list of detected hardware.

Performance Options
One optimization you can perform on all Windows versions is setting Performance Options. Performance Options are used to configure CPU, RAM, and virtual memory (page file) settings. To access these options right-click Computer or This PC and select Properties, and then click the Advanced system settings link in the Tasks list. On the Advanced tab, click the settings button in the Performance section.

The Performance Options dialog box has three tabs: Visual Effects, Advanced and Data Execution Prevention (see Figure 15-23). The Visual Effects tab enables you to adjust visual effects that impact performance, such as animations, thumbnails, and transparencies. Try clicking the top three choices in turn and watch the list of settings. Notice the tinyh difference between the first two choices (Let Windows choose what'sbest for my computer and Adjust for best appearance). The third choice, Adjust for best performance, turns off all visual effects, and the fourth option is an invitation to make your own adjustments.

If you're on a computer that barely supports Windows, turning off visual effects can make a huge difference int he responsiveness of the computer. For the most part, though, just leave these settings alone.

...

The Advanced tab, shown in Figure 15-24, has two sections: Processor scheduling and Virtual memory. Under the Processor scheduling section, you can choose to adjust for best performance of either Programs or Background services. The Virtual memory section of this tab enables you to modify the size and location of the page file.

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) works in teh background to stop viruses and other malware from taking over programs loaded in system memory. It doesn't prevent viruses from being installed on your computer, but makes them less effective. By default, DEP is only enabled for critical operating system files in RAM, but the Data Execution Prevention tab enables you to have DEP turned on for all running programs. It works, but you might take a performance hit or find that some applications crash with it enabled for all programs. Like other options in Performance Options, leaving the default DEP settings is the best option most of the time.

Preparing for Problems
Techs need to prepare for problems. You must have critical system files and data backed up and tools in place for the inevitalbe glitches. Every modern operating system has options for backing up data and, as you might imagine, they all offer different features. Windows offers System Restore to recover from problems, too. Let's take a look.

...

Backing Up Personal Data
The most important data on your computer is the personal data: your documents, e-mail messages and contacts, Web favorites, photographs, and other files. To handle backing up personal data, every version of Windows comes with some form of backup utility. Mac OS X and Linux of course have backup tools as well.

Backup and Restore Center for Windows Vista/7
Microsoft includes the automated and simple Backup and Restore Center (Windwos Vista) and Backup and Restore (Windwos 7) Control Panel applets. In Windows Vista, you can either back up files or back up you computer (see Figure 15-25). Both choices will first ask you where you want to store the backup (see Figure 15-26).

Is there more of her? Ive only seen this one.

As the name implies, the Back up computer option backs up your entire computer to a system image. All you need to do is pick a destination for the image (optical drive, hard drive, or network location) and Windows takes care of the rest. Chooseing the Back up files option is another matter entirely. Clicking this button reveals the screen shown in Figure 15-27.

The Back up files option in Vista only enables you to back up personal information for all users. If you want to back up any installed applications, or even Windows itself, don't bother using the Back up files option that comes with Vista.

I need a girl with huge areola like this.
I remember she measured them and the were 5 inches across and 6 inches tall.
Id suck on them all the dam time.

Exam Tip

Windows will not back up content stored on non-NTFS volumes.

get fit, get on tinder, only date big titty chicks.

...

Windows 7's Backup and Restore utility includes a number of noteworthy improvements over Windows Vista's. First of all, Microsoft changed the look the main screen (see Figure 15-28).

Clicking the Set up backup link in Windows 7 opens a dialog box asking you to choose your backup location--very similar to Vista's backup. After selecting your backup location and clicking Next, you then see the screen shown in Figure 15-29.

If you select Let Windows choose (recommended), you'll get a backup similar to the Vista backup, but with one very important difference. You'll back up each user's personal data, but Windows 7 doesn't stop there. Assuming you have enough space in your backu p location, Windows 7 will automatically add a system image that includes the entire windows operating system, every installed program, all device drivers, and even the Registry.

Selecting Let me choose is equally interesting. Unlike Vista's selection, Windows 7 enables you to pick individual users' files to back up (see Figure 15-30).

By selecting a user, you can choose libraries or the user's personal folders to back up, as shown in Figure 15-31. Also note the checkbox that gives you the option to make a system image, just as if you selected the Let Windows choose (recommended) option.

Once you complete the wizard, Windows starts backing up your files. While the backup runs, you can monitor its status with an exciting and handy progress bar (see Figure 15-32). If you can't handle that much excitement, you can close the backup window while the OS backs up files. The process can take a long time, many hours with a modern system with a large hard drive.

Note

You can also choose to create just a system image in Windows 7. From the Backup and Restore applet, select Create a system image. It works like the system image function in Windows Vista.

...

File History in Window 8/8.1/10
Microsoft introduced the robust File History Control Panel applet in Windows 8 that enables aggressive backup of personal files and folders (see Figure 15-33). File History requires a second drive and is not enabled by default. You can use any type of HDD of SSD as the second drive, internal or external. (You could choose to back up to a second partition on the same drive, I suppose, but what would be the point?) Enable File History and start backing up your Libraries, Desktop, Contacts, and Favorites right now.

Note that File History won't back up all your personal files unless you either add tehm to the default Libraries or create custom Libraries. Also, File History does not replace full system backups at all. To back up your system, select the System Image Backup option (lower left option in File History) to open the Windows 7--era Back and Restore tool. Create a full back to another (larger) drive.
