Welcome to Windows 7 Training for Teachers! Windows 7 is the operating system for laptops in Henrico grades 6 – 12. Here you will find directions for new and experienced Windows 7 users.
Beginning of the Year Setup:
Teachers may need a refresher on Windows 7 and/or you are new to the operating system. Use the directions below to review the care and features of our laptops and Windows 7. There are also several helpful video tutorials at the bottom of the page that you may want to review. If you don’t need to review you can skip this step, but don’t forget that students and parents receive this same information so you will want to make sure you are familiar with it. These will also be helpful to restore your settings after the reimage.
