fiza Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I have been asked to help set up for a BTEC assessment where the students need to show how they go about installing windows, installing software and install drivers. I can get them to install Win7, I can get them to install office but what about installing drivers? Windows 7 recognises all the kit (printers, cameras etc) we have in school and auto loads the drivers from its repository, you don't need to go hunting for the right drivers on the net. What is the best way for them to show "how to install drivers"?

fiza Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Disable plug and play service? Assuming these are test machines etc Steve Its 1 machine. The idea was to format the hard drive and then hand it over to the student with a windows disk and an office disk. They would then get it up and running. Once finished I would then format the hard drive again and on to the next student. Theres only a handful of Y12 students doing this.

Steve21 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 You considered using XP rather than 7? That's what we use for it, and obviously XP sucks at finding drivers for USB devices Or did you need 7 now? Steve 1
