My current experience is 1st/2nd line IT support. The only automation I know is setting up network pxe boot to deploy images.

Im not brave my role is up for redundancy and short of changing career altogether mights as well use my past 20 year experience in IT support as a baseline.

No certs, not looking for mega money just something where i could earn the average UK salary of 35k in a few years.

So is your role or other coder roles programming git for example all day?

Im happy to begin at the bottom of the ladder. Ive considering a different career change altogether but that would be throwing away all my experience.

Thanks, any ideas how or where to get started?

Nope i would be starting from nothing.

Hope this is the right place if not feel free to move! (Admin) Hi, Just wondered if anyone on here has made the transition from IT support to been a "coder" how hard is was and were to begin! Thanks

Ive read about bitlocker without TPM but it doesn't encrypt the whole drive does it?

Hi All, I need to encrypt the hard drives of 20 staff laptops asap, I cant use bitlocker because the laptops don't have the TPM chip for full encryption, and as some of the laptops are 5 years old when I try to encrypt using Veracrypt it shows an error saying some sectors are unreadable it trys to write 0 to them sectors but it doesn't get any further along. Have also tried Compusec Free software but doesn't install and just says check log. Also tried using another program but it wasn't compatible with UEFI bios/ hard drives. Trying chkdsk now with /f and /r then veracrypt again but not having much confidence. Anymore further ideas I can try as I'm aware the deadline is approaching quickly! Thanks in advance Danny

The machine only has one user account on it with admin rights when i right click there is no run as administrator option and create a shortcut and then go into properties then run as admininistrator section is greyed out. anyone any ideas? Thanks is advance Danny

I've found the individual laptop and restored everything from backup. I explained the virus to its owner and she has spoken to someone she knows in IT who says he can definitely get the data back? Anyway we will see what happens. Thanks for all the advice guys
