Q: It is easy to forget the battery in the build process, but make sure that it is inserted and charging properly before booting up the computer. . Before you install an operating system, run Memtest86+ to ensure that your memory is working correctly, and that your computer is functioning in general. Memtest86+ can be downloaded for free online, and can be booted from a CD or USB drive. You can also check that the memory you installed is recognized by using the BIOS. Find the Hardware or Monitor section to see if your memory appears. For self-built laptops, you can choose between Microsoft Windows or a Linux distribution. Windows costs money, but it offers a larger range of programs and hardware compatibility. Linux is free, secure, and supported by a community of volunteer developers.  There are many versions of Linux to choose from, but some of the more popular include Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian. It is recommended that you install the latest version of Windows released, as older versions lose support after enough time has passed. If you don’t have an optical drive installed, you will need to create a bootable USB drive with your operating system files. . Once your operating system is installed, you will need to install drivers for your hardware. Most modern operating systems will do most of this automatically, but you may have one or two components that need to be installed manually. Most components will come with their drivers on a disc. Use the disc if your operating system cannot find the correct drivers.
A: Make sure that the battery is inserted. Check your memory Install an operating system. Install your drivers

Q: If you are able to discuss a sale face to face, take the opportunity. Displaying your personality gives you a greater chance of completing a transaction than words or phone calls do. An in-person meeting means an opportunity to respond to the other person’s body language.  For an online sale, say something like, “Would you like to come look at the item?” For comfort, invite them to a public place. Try to have the conversation at an opportune time, such as after a meal or another time when the person is in a good mood. Rather than  simply discussing the item, bring the customer to it. Let them hold it, feel it, or even give it a test run. This gives the customer a chance to observe the item’s qualities, making them more likely to buy it. For example, car dealerships let their customers test drive cars. Many retail stores have changing rooms where you can put on clothing before making a decision. Look the person in the eye and speak with a loud, steady voice. To do this, know what you want to say in advance. Practice it at home as needed until you feel comfortable saying it. Avoid going overboard with enthusiasm, since that makes you seem false.  Avoid using filler words like “uh” and “um.” Talk like you would with anyone else. Let your enthusiasm build naturally as you discuss the product. Pay attention to what the other person has to say. If you stop listening, you may get caught up in whatever sales pitch you rehearsed. Remember to meet the person on their level, staying friendly and responding to any concerns they have. If someone goes off on a tangent about a fishing trip, engage them on it. A car salesperson might then say, “This truck would have given you plenty of room to store your equipment.” Matching the other person’s behavior makes them feel more comfortable. Simply talk like they do and use the same body language. This also forces you to pay attention to the other person speaking, which helps you be more convincing when it’s your turn to speak. For example, if someone uses a lot of hand gestures while speaking, you should do this too. If the person has their arms crossed, hold back and act a little more restrained. Many salespeople use reciprocity to encourage a purchase. Try sealing the deal by offering a special discount or another gift. Even doing something like writing a personalized note of appreciation makes a sale more likely. For example, some stores offer complimentary cups of coffee. Some dentists give out free toothbrushes after each visit. No matter what answer you expect to get from the other person, stay respectful. Thank them for taking the time to listen to you. A simple “thank you” makes the situation feel more friendly, especially after a long discussion. Simply say, “Thank you for your time.” Be respectful when a person says no. If you have offered all the reasons possible to make the purchase, avoid pressing any further. Drop the issue for at least a few days, usually weeks or months if possible. Wait until you have an appropriate opportunity to ask again.  If you are talking to a stranger, you can say, "Come back if you have any questions." If you are online, make use of storefront links, advertisements, social media posts, and newsletters to bring people back. Talk to them again at another good time. With a little time to think things over, they may change their mind.
A: Meet the person face to face. Let the potential buyer handle the product. Speak with confidence but stay relaxed. Listen to the other person speak. Mirror the other person’s behavior. Negotiate with the other person. Thank the person for their time. Come back later if a person says no.
