When buying a PC, hardware and electronics stores offer additional software installation services, but they may hide from the client that he can do it himself. Dmitry Parshin, director of the Artezio development center (part of the LANIT group), told about this.
“Merchant outlets do not always honestly tell the consumer whether he can perform the necessary actions on his own. For example, if a laptop comes without an operating system, how difficult would it be to install it yourself. Usually, in order to increase revenue from a client, the store tries not to say that it is enough just to do it yourself,” said Parshin.
According to him, all modern applications are very easy to install and master, and often there is no need for the help of specialists.
“Even installing an operating system will not be a problem for a user with minimal skills, there are step-by-step tips, and on the Internet you can find detailed and simple video instructions for installing almost any additional option or program. Therefore, if the user is interested in developing digital solutions on his own in the future, he should refuse such paid offers, ”the source explained.
The expert advises to increase knowledge in the management of equipment or ask for help from any advanced user.
“The choice between a layman and a professional is important only when repairing equipment, when special knowledge and tools are needed. The service for installing applications and setting up a PC in stores can hardly be called professional, because there is no such thing as a professional “software installer”, there is no such specialization or profession,” the expert noted.
