I have compiled a computer service and diagnostic checklist that I use, feel free to use my template down below:
This checklist is very useful for computer upgrades.
Also, feel free to comment down below if you think I missed anything, I'll add on the list here.
- (If primary drive is added) former primary drive cleaned and formatted first
- (If secondary drive is added) secondary drive cleaned and formatted first
- Dual drive upgraded models have both drives installed
- SATA configuration set to AHCI or appropriate for drive setup
- Primary SSD/HDD is imaged with correct OS for model
- RAM and SSD/HDD is installed and secured correctly
- Correct SSD/HDD and RAM types confirmed
- Optical drive tray (if present) ejects and reloads
- Wi-Fi adapter is working (if applicable)
- Operating system prepared for first use setup
- One complete shutdown and restart performed
- Official graphics and audio drivers and all other drivers installed
