As a freelance editor for several international publishers, you depend on your computer to meet critical deadlines. Whenever you encounter a computer problem, you contact a computer consultant who helps you resolve the problem. This consultant has asked you to document, or keep records of, your computer's current settings.
a. Connect your USB flash drive to your computer, if necessary.
b. Open the Computer window so you can view information on your drives and other installed hardware.
c. View the window contents using three different views, then choose the one you prefer.
d. Open WordPad and create a document with the title My Hardware Documentation and your name on separate lines.
e. List the names of the hard drive (or drives), devices with removable storage, and any other hardware devices installed on the computer you are using. Also include the total size and amount of free space on your hard drive(s) and removable storage drive(s). (Hint If you need to check the Computer window for this information, use the taskbar button for the Computer window to view your drives, then use the WordPad taskbar button to return to WordPad.)
f. Save the WordPad document with the filename My Hardware Documentation on your USB flash drive or the location where you store your Data Files.
g. Close WordPad, then preview your document in the Preview pane.
