Overview of New Computer Work Work to be done
                                                           


DropBox installed. >>>Even though dropbox is still functional back to  windows xp its full security and functionality are not realized unless your computer is Windows 8 or better currently.

 

Chrome Web Browser Installed. I discovered that Chrome web browser has a vulnerability to having its search engine compromised such that it intermittently is commandeered by other search engines such as Yahoo therefore I installed a plugin in chrome to enhance its security.  This is a nasty piece of malware that comes in various versions. You are currently experiencing this takeover of the search engine on your office desk computer  by my experience.  You may want to check your home computer also to see if this issue presents itself. If it does I would suggest using another browser where the utmost of security is warranted just in case the browser is logging keystrokes. I suspect google is working on this vulnerability. 

 

Zoom installed  Zoom is installed and boots up in less than 5 seconds. 

Ethernet: I upgraded the ethernet card to future-proof for internet speeds up to 300mbs. This should enhance video over internet experience plus search response.  

 Microsoft Office is installed however you  will need to set up a Microsoft account in order to log in.  You can have multiple Microsoft accounts but can only be logged into one at a time. You may already have an account due to having installed other Microsoft products. 
Be it known that the seller I selected was chosen on the basis of their high feedback rating.

Dropbox:  Complete Syncing with cloud shall be completed while hooked up to your internet service. I was apprehensive to proceed on my system as that I have 1Tbyte of service included but would likely  be charged extra to sync your files over my connection.

Install External Speakers: It is currently operating on internal speakers.

Install Camera/Microphone

Highly recommended.. Larger monitor... I am currently running dual 30" monitors.
A LCD or LED monitor with HDMI input  preferred however a VGA will work also.
These are readily available generally at the thrift stores.
