Getting started with the all-in-one workstations

This guide will show the features of Windows 10 and how to access applications and resources that the University provides. This guide assumes that you are comfortable with using a computer and the Windows operating system.

Workstation


The all-in-one workstations are the computers that are installed in all the teaching spaces in The Spark. All-in-one means the whole computer is located behind the screen. These workstations are touch compatible meaning that the operating system can be utilised like a Windows tablet or with the keyboard and mouse like a conventional desktop computer. The all-in-ones have Windows 10 installed on them. 


Remember that teaching spaces without the all-in-one device will function in the same way but will not have touchscreen capability.
