M3 - how the task 2 configurations made the system more appropriated for the specified purpose.

In task two for P6 I had configured a PC to meet the user needs, in this report I shall be explaining how this made the system more appropriate for it's purpose.

Changing the theme:
The theme can actually slow your computer theme, a complex theme will require the graphics card to use the RAM and show your theme. choosing a simple and plain theme will decrease the RAM required for the graphics card and therefore speeding the PC up. Another point is specifically for the user. some complex themes can be rather confusing and it can take some time to find what is being looked for. with a simple theme you can find these things easier therefore easing the job for the user.

Changing the power options:
To keep things running you need power, and power costs money, so wasted power is wasted money. therefore changing the power options can save money. This is how it works, if a monitor is left on you can make it turn off after 5 minutes of no use, this means that if you accidently left it on when your not using it, after 5 minutes it will turn off, saving power, you can also make it sleep and hibernate in a shorter time, again saving power, and therefore saving money.

Changing the language settings: 
This is mostly done to suit the needs of the user more than the overall company. With the increase in migration between countries you may get a worker that has a different mother language. obviously if the PC ran with their main language it can be easier to use for them, after-all some words they may not understand and if this is the case, the job required may take longer than expected. That is why I have done this.
