Step-by-Step Installation and Configuration Instructions
Follow the instructions below to install and configure Windows 10,
taking screenshots to document your work as you go. Once you have
completed these tasks, follow the instructions in the template to
complete your report.
Part 1: Install Windows 10
Use any hypervisor to install Windows 10. Many hypervisors are
available, including Oracle’s VirtualBox, an open-source (free)
virtualization product. In addition, as part of UMGC’s agreement with
VMware, you can download VMware Workstation for free. Ask your
instructor for access to VMware.
Note: It is not necessary to include screenshots of installing the
hypervisor software.

Part 2: Configuration
You must take screenshots of each of the following activities (more
than one screenshot many be needed to demonstrate some of the
commands).
You should include a screenshot for each step in your proof-ofconcept document.
1. Change the name of the computer to yourfirstInitialLastNamePC (i.e., jsmith-PC)
2. Change the desktop theme and take a screenshot. Include the
current date and time in the taskbar.
3. Use PowerShell to create a local user account called
yourFirstInitialLastName (i.e., jsmith)
4. Use PowerShell to create a local group account called
Tetraaccounting
5. Use PowerShell to add the user created in Step 3 to the Tetra
Shillings Accounting local group.
6. Use Local Group Policy to create a password policy. The policy
should be based on best practices.
7. Create a folder called Tetra on the root of the C Drive. Assign
the Tetra Shillings Accounting read/write access to the folder.
8. Using the Tetra folder that you created in step 7, show that the
members in the Tetra Shillings Accounting group have
read/write permissions to the folder over the network.
9. Configure Windows Firewall to block inbound ICMPv4. This
may require research.
