Managing Windows 10 Devices and Data

Manage Windows 10 Devices and Data with confidence! This course builds upon a basic Windows 10 installation to equip you with essential skills for device management and data security.

You'll learn how to effectively configure hardware by deploying and setting up device drivers. Understand how to ensure Windows communicates seamlessly with all connected peripherals, including printers and storage devices. We'll cover both traditional methods like Disk Management and modern solutions like Storage Spaces.

Next, master user permissions and group policies for local users and groups. Learn to leverage the Registry, Group Policy, and cloud services to precisely control access to your Windows 10 devices. You'll also gain the ability to troubleshoot policies and migrate them to Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems for streamlined management.

Crucially, this course focuses on Windows security. Discover how to protect sensitive data through robust measures like password management, User Account Control (UAC), Device Guard, Windows Defender Antivirus, and the Windows Defender Firewall. Implement strong encryption technologies such as EFS (Encrypting File System) and BitLocker to safeguard your data.

By the end of this course, you'll be prepared to successfully set up Windows 10 for comprehensive device and data management, laying the foundation for ongoing connectivity and maintenance – topics explored in subsequent courses. This curriculum directly aligns with the learning objectives for the new MD-100 exam and prepares you for Modern Desktop Administrator Associate certification.
