OS Installation: Field Application

Field Scenario

A customer wants a fresh OS install to fix persistent slowdowns, but a technician hasn’t confirmed whether their data is backed up first.

What You Actually Do

  • Confirm data backup status before proceeding with any installation that could result in data loss
  • Explain clearly to the customer why this step matters before moving forward
  • Assess whether a clean install is actually the right approach for this specific slowdown issue
  • Document the installation process and any relevant details for future reference
