This course covers the implementation of mass storage devices, essential peripherals, and the full process of installing and upgrading operating systems — core competencies for the CompTIA A+ Core 2 exam.
Learners benefit from understanding how to configure storage solutions, connect and troubleshoot peripherals, and perform clean installs and upgrades of Windows operating systems in professional settings. Online labs provide hands-on experience with real hardware and OS configuration tasks.
This chapter covers how modern systems manage, configure, secure, and maintain mass storage—from partitions and file systems to RAID, dynamic disks, and OS installation—to ensure reliability and performance.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
