By modern standards, computer setups are no longer as simple as requiring a box, keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Other peripherals in the past were optional and not nearly as common as they are now. In this course, explore concepts for computer devices and components, such as the basics of computer networking. Next, learn about various peripherals, including setup steps and installation methods. Finally, examine the insides of computers with an overview of motherboards, BIOS and firmware, CPUs and RAM, storage types, cooling systems, and network interface cards (NICs). This course helps prepare learners for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam, FC0-U61.
