  • Boot-stage decision tree laminated for your bench
  • BitLocker and disk space triage without touching sensitive data
  • VPN split-tunnel symptoms vs full tunnel
  • Printer ghosting and mapped drive mismatches
  • Mobile hotspot fallback tests
  • Battery health quick reads that set expectations
  • When to stop and route to hardware vendor

Outcomes

  • Cut average triage time without skipping safety checks
  • Explain tradeoffs to non-technical requesters
  • Keep an activity log that hardware teams respect

FAQ

Do I need my own device fleet?

We ship a lab image description; most learners use a spare laptop with the guided image or a VM where allowed.

Mac coverage?

One week compares macOS parallels so you are not lost on mixed fleets.

Is hardware repair included?

No soldering or depot work—this stays at desk-level triage.

Participant notes

The VPN split-tunnel lab mirrored what we saw in stores last winter.
