Core Hardware — System Components & Storage

This course builds on foundational hardware knowledge by covering the critical system components that make a PC function: firmware, motherboards, power supplies, and storage. Covering approximately 5 hours of expert instruction, learners gain the skills to configure BIOS/UEFI settings, identify motherboard components, select and replace power supplies, and implement a wide variety of storage solutions. Learners benefit by developing hands-on proficiency with the internal architecture of a modern PC. Online labs reinforce BIOS/UEFI navigation, storage device identification, RAID configuration, and power supply selection. By the end of this course, learners will be able to configure system firmware, identify and replace motherboard components, size and install power supplies, and implement storage solutions from traditional HDDs to modern NVMe SSDs.
