Ajay Jassi
What to take in consideration What should be done
When installing new software, an error may
occur that can cause damage to the
operating system and data.
Before installation, create a new updated
system restore point. This is because if an
error occurs, no system files will get corrupt
or lost.
Some features and software may not work
with the computer system.
Check the requirements before installing, to
ensure that it will work or not.
The software can be sluggish or broken. Check that that latest version is being
installed, as this fixes the bugs.
Type of installation. (clean or upgrade) Back-up data on a memory stick or disc, so
that data then can be transferred onto the
new software. (operating system) When
upgrading back-up isn’t necessary, but it is
recommended to in emergencies.
Previous software that are being replaced. Uninstall any previous version of the
software. This will prevent document clashes
and format errors.
The computer is clean from any viruses or
malware.
Run a full anti-virus scan, to see if there are
any harmful files on the system. If there is
software shouldn’t be installed, as this can
affected it. The viruses should be removed
before.
See if the computer system and drivers are
updated.
Update windows and all the drivers, so that
latest versions will enable the software and
system to run smother and it will meet the
recommendations and requirements.
