D2 explain and justify improvements that could be made to a computer system.

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to highlight, explain, and justify possible improvements that could be Mr Ali’s computer system to both aid him with his use of the computer system to combat his disabilities as well as generally speed up his system to make it more efficient and smooth when operating.

Left Handed Keyboard/Mouse

Implementing a left handed keyboard and/or mouse into Mr Ali’s computer system will help to operate his computer system with ease as he is a left handed user. Using these peripherals will increase his efficiency with the computer system and make it more comfortable for him to operate it as these peripherals are designed to be used by individuals who are left handed.

Wireless adapter

Putting a wireless adapter into the computer system will enable Mr Ali to move the computer system to a more appropriate and comfortable position, as at the moment his computer system will have to be within cables length of the internet router for him to use the internet. Utilizing wireless capabilities will also mean fewer cables to worry about which means less clutter as well as the possibility of moving his working area to a better location, away from the confinements of the internet router.

Larger/Better quality monitor

Mr Ali has vision issues, this means that he may have trouble reading text on the computer monitor, to combat this we initially enlarged the icons on the desktop as well as some other features, to further combat the issue we can implement a larger monitor, or a better quality one, this will help Mr Ali to view the text easier, reducing strain on his eyes and making his computer experience more comfortable.

Upgrade hardware (HDD RAM)

We can upgrade the hardware on his system, such as his HDD and RAM, this would speed up the performance of his computer system as well as giving him more space to store media. Increasing the RAM further would also allow him to have more programs/higher performance programs open.

Anti-virus

Implementing a good quality and effective anti-virus software will help to protect Mr Ali’s computer system from malware and malicious attackers; this will mean that his computer system will operate without trouble.

Registry Cleaner

Installing a good quality registry cleaner, such as CCleaner will help to keep his computer system clean from bad registry entries; this in turn will help to speed up the performance of his computer system.

Modern Browser

Installing a modern browser, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox over the standard Internet Explorer will mean that browsing will be faster as well as a lot more comfortable.
