To start, open PowerPoint and navigate to the “Insert” tab.
Family trees are hierarchical charts that detail the relationship between family members.
You can make your family tree in PowerPoint using one of the Microsoft Hierarchy Style SmartArt graphics. Here’s how.
>The “select SmartArt Graphic” window will appear. In the left panel, click the “Hierarchy” tab.
You will now see a small collection of Hierarchy SmartArt Graphics.
For standard family trees, “organizational chart” options are ideal.
However, you can choose which SmartArt work is best for you.
Select the graph you want to use by clicking on it.
>Once selected, preview and the description of the graph will appear in the right panel. Click “OK” to enter the map.
With charts added to your presentation, you can start entering a family member’s name in each box. Do this by clicking on the TV and typing their words. The text will change its size to fit the box automatically.
>You can delete the box you don’t need by clicking the box to select it and then press the “Delete” button on your keyboard.
You can also add additional boxes below or above a particular position. To do this, highlight the box by clicking on it.
Select the box in the box
>Next, click the “Design” tab in the “SmartArt Tools” group.
>In the “Create Graph” group, click the arrow next to the “Add Shape” option.
The drop-down menu will appear. The option you choose from the menu will depend on where you want to place a box concerning the box currently selected. This is what each option does:

>Play with style and color until you find the best for you.
Creating a family tree is an exciting thing but is always a collaborative effort. You can ask family members to collaborate with presentations with you to ensure that no family members are left. And remember to share presentations with your family as soon as the family tree is complete!
Importance of PowerPoint
Microsoft PowerPoint is an easy-to-use program and a powerful tool to provide presentations. Whether your presentation requires a visual kick, a tool for collaboration, easy access, or the ability to share information outside the initial meeting, PowerPoint is a right choice. It can even help reduce anxiety talk by pulling eyes away from the speaker and to the screen. It’s just that, don’t expect this technology to replace language and dynamic skills.
Visual Impact
Make your presentation more interesting through multimedia use can help increase the focus of the audience. PowerPoint allows you to use images, audio, and videos to have a larger visual impact. These visual and audio cues can also help presenters more improvise and interact with the audience. However, try not to rely too much on these sources because your message might get lost in the chaos.
Collaboration
PowerPoint allows you to work with other people in collaborative ways. This is very useful in office settings where teamwork is the key. Many people can collaborate and contribute to the presentation. By going to the “Review” tab at the top of the program and clicking the “New Comment” button, you can leave a note and reposition it on the screen to see other team members. Comments can be a tool that is very useful for clarification.

What are Windows Updates
Let’s talk about some basics. When we install an operating system, software, or image a machine, we always ensure it is patched with latest updates. Not only operating system but also every software that we use needs to be constantly updated. Windows updates are released to fix security issues, fix bugs, issues in operating system, and to add new features to OS. The Windows Updates are relying on Windows Update service which is set to start automatically by default. Windows Update service will downloads & installs recommended and important updates automatically. Microsoft updates can be classified into following categories:-
Critical Updates
Security Updates
Definition Updates
Drivers
Update Rollups
Service Packs
Tools
Feature Packs

Introduction to Windows Server Update Services
WSUS enables the administrators to install the latest Microsoft product updates. WSUS is a Microsoft Windows Server role and when we install it, you can efficiently manage & deploy the updates. One of the highly important tasks of system administrators is to keep client pc and servers updated with the latest security updates and Windows software patches. Without WSUS it could be really hard to manage the Windows updates. When you have a single WSUS server in our environment, the Windows updates are downloaded directly from Microsoft Update. Rather than downloading updates directly from internet letting to multiple computers. We can setup WSUS server and allow the clients to download all the updates from a WSUS server. With WSUS we can save Internet bandwidth and also speed up the Windows update process.
Windows Server Update Services Lab Setup
In the first place let me cover about WSUS lab setup. I consider that the best way to master WSUS is to deploy and configure it in the test or lab setup first. Then we can start working on it and try several things. I have created 3 virtual machines in my lab.
Server Name
Operating System
Role Installed
DC2019.test.local
Windows Server 2019 Standard
Active Directory, DNS, DHCP
WSUS.test.local
Windows Server 2019 Standard
WSUS

Windows 10 Professional
Windows 10
WSUS System Requirements
When we have decided to implement WSUS in our setup, First we must first look into WSUS requirements. Please visit Microsoft. It will cover all the information required for WSUS requirements.
WSUS Firewall Ports / Exceptions
It is important that the WSUS server connects to Microsoft Update to download updates. If there a corporate firewall between Internet and WSUS server, we might have to configure that firewall to ensure WSUS can acquire updates. To gain updates from Microsoft, the WSUS usage port 443 for HTTPS protocol. You should allow Internet access from WSUS to the following list of URLs.
Deploy WSUS Role on Windows Server 2019

In this guide, I will explain how to uninstall Windows 10 updates offline using Windows RE or Windows repair disk. Most of the times Windows OS updates automatically, the Windows updates won’t cause any problems. However, some times the update may contain bugs that can make the system unbootable. Generally, in this case, we can use the System Restore tool.
If the System Restore feature is disabled by default. Until you manually enable the restore feature, you are unable to restore the system to a known good state.
Two types of Windows 10 Updates
Starting from Windows 10, Microsoft is offering two types of updates. Quality Updates and Feature Updates.
Quality Updates: are also known as Cumulative Updates; you will receive them almost every week. These standard updates contain bug fixes, security fixes, and other improvements.
Feature Updates: Windows 10 major updates that are released twice a year. For example, the present 1809 update and the upcoming 1903 update are referred to as feature updates.
Uninstall Update When computer Is Not Booting Up
When the computer is unbootable then you Uninstall Windows updates, we need to access the advanced startup settings. You can do that using the Windows system repair disk or Windows 10 installation media.
If we recently installed major update or Windows feature update has made our Windows 10 system unbootable, so we can use the Windows Recovery Options to uninstall the newly installed update. We can uninstall any recent update through 2 methods, and this article explains both ways.
Uninstall Windows 10 Update using Windows RE
Uninstall Update feature using system repair disk.
1- Go to your system bios and then change boot options.
2- After booting from Windows 10 system repair disk, select keyboard layout.
3- Select troubleshoot.
Uninstall Update feature using Windows media Advanced Options
1- Boot your computer using Windows installation media or Recovery drive and then press any key.
In this article, I am going to show you how to restore your system using system repair disk. System Restore is a Windows 10 feature designed to create a snapshot of your device and save its working state as a restore point when system changes are detected.
Restore System Using System Repair Disk
1- Insert your system repair disk into the CD/DVD drive, and change boot order to CD-ROM Drive.
2- Choose your keyboard layout and then press enter.

2- Select the keyboard layout for your language or country and then hit Enter.
3- All your files and app will be removed after the OS reinstalled. Select Recover from a Drive option to tell the PC to take the version of Windows on your drive.
4- Here you choose the option to remove only files or completely clear the operating system If you were planning to recycle a computer. Since you’re planning to keep this machine, select Just remove my files.
Your PC will warn you once again that all personal files will be deleted and any apps that did not come with the OS will be removed. In addition, if you repartitioned your hard disk, this will restore it to its original state, which means you will need to set up the partition again.
5- Then Windows will tell you that it’s recovering your PC. When finished, Windows is officially reinstalled. Select Recover
6- Windows 10 takes you through the setup process and applies any updates.
7- After completed the setup, you can sign into Windows. Again, you won’t get your personal files here, but hopefully, you have backed those up elsewhere so you can now restore them. You will also need to reinstall your desktop applications.
As Microsoft Edge needs you to utilize the program doesn’t mean you need to. Here’s how to make Chrome, Firefox, or another essential program in Windows 10.
Microsoft has been attempting to get individuals to utilize its Edge program for quite a long time. Even though the organization made Edge the default program in Windows 10, clients left by the thousand, the majority of them rushing to Google Chrome — and all things considered. Edge was underpowered, had hard to-utilize includes, and offered not many expansions contrasted with Chrome and Firefox.
Presently Microsoft has dispatched another form of Edge that depends on the very advances that drive Chrome. The new Edge is a greatly improved program, and there are convincing motivations to utilize it. Yet, you may even now like to utilize Chrome, Firefox, or one of the numerous different programs out there.
Note that regardless of whether you’ve recently set up another program to be your default, it may have been changed from that point forward. When there’s a significant Windows 10 overhaul, the redesign prescribes changing to Edge, and you may have incidentally done the switch.
Whatever the explanation, if Edge is your default Windows 10 program, it’s anything but difficult to switch. to your preferred program. As I’ll show you, it just takes a couple of moments.
The directions in this article expect that you’ve introduced the most recent rendition of Windows 10 — variant 1909, a.k.a. the November 2019 Update. On the off chance that you haven’t introduced it, the screens you see may fluctuate fairly from what you see here.
Why you should stay with Edge
The new Edge will be naturally conveyed to most Windows 10 Home and Pro clients through Windows Update, while venture clients will probably get it just when their IT divisions turn it out. If you’ve been utilizing the old Edge as your default program, the enhanced one will be your default too. If you’ve set another program as your default, the new Edge won’t consequently abrogate your inclination — yet like all programs, it will inquire as to whether you need to make it the default.
It’s most likely worth at any rate evaluating the new Edge. The program offers a spotless plan with instinctive highlights. The greatest disadvantage to the old Edge was its irrelevant determination of program augmentations, but since the new Edge utilizes a similar delivering motor as Chrome, it can run Chrome expansions, which number in the large numbers. What’s more, not normal for Chrome, Edge offers following avoidance, which impedes advertisement suppliers from following you from site to site.
In my tests, Edge likewise feels quicker than Chrome and uses on normal 14% less RAM. Furthermore, it makes interest highlights worth difficult, for example, the capacity to dispatch a site as though it’s an application.
All that stated, you probably won’t be keen on evaluating the new Edge or you may attempt it and choose your favorite Chrome, Firefox, or another program. You may, for instance, similar to Firefox’s capacity to caution you when a site secretly utilizes your PC’s processor to mine cryptographic money out of sight, without your insight. Or then again you may like the way Chrome’s Omnibox (the spot you type URLs and searches) can do things like perform math capacities, convert monetary forms or, answer addresses, for example, naming the capitals of U.S. states without looking through the web
If you need to utilize another program as your default, this is what to do.
Instructions to assign another program as your default
The main thing you need to do to change to another program as your default is to introduce the other program on your framework. After that is done, click the Windows 10 Start catch and snap the Settings symbol that shows up on the left-hand side of the screen. (It would seem that a little stuff.) You can likewise type “settings” into the inquiry box and snap the Settings result from that shows up at the highest point of the screen.
In the Settings application, select Apps > Default applications. The Default applications screen shows up. It shows the default applications for email, maps, playing music and recordings, seeing photographs, and the sky is the limit from there. To change the default program, you’ll need to look down toward the lower part of your screen.
Close to the lower part of the screen, you’ll see Microsoft Edge under the “Internet browser” posting. Snap the Microsoft Edge symbol and you’ll see spring up with a rundown of your introduced programs.
Side note: The spring up additionally has a “Search for an application in the Microsoft Store” alternative, however on the off chance that you click it, you won’t discover Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or some other program you’ve probably ever known about. Clicking it dispatches a hunt of the Windows App Store for the expression “HTTP,” which turns up a diverse assortment of applications, from record downloaders to an application that diminishes your Windows foundation to make it simpler to see recordings. There are likewise some generally secret programs recorded, for example, Super-Fast Browser and BlueSky Browser. Give them a shot if you like, however, remember that they’re Windows Store applications, and when in doubt, Windows Store applications are underpowered contrasted with work area applications like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.

In this article, we take a look to restore Windows 10 by running System Image Recovery tools using Windows system repair disk.
Microsoft included in Windows a system image utility that makes it simple to backup the entire computer, which we can then use to restore in case of operating system failure. Note: a system image is an exact replica of the hard disk, down to the partition layout. It’s depending on how large our Windows 10 installation is, it will use a lot of space, so you can use an external USB hard disk with a lot of space.

When we want to create a certificate request then what we are doing is creating a request for a certificate that we can provide to the third-party likes of Go Daddy that tells them to create a certificate that trusts the domain names that we specify. Below steps I will create a certificate so that internal users of Outlook can connect to the internal Exchange 2013/2016/2019 server name, use Autodiscover to auto-configure Outlook, we will also add to the certificate request the external domain we will user for OWA. In this situation we will use the domain https://mail.domain.com (this is used for example).

9- This step is important; you want to make sure you have the following in your certificate request. (Example: mail.domain.com, Autodiscover.domain.com, Domain.com). Basically, we need to add or select any address that you will reference our exchange server as or connect to as. Click next
10- Provide your organization’s information, and then click Next: Organization name – Provide your company or organization. Department name – Provide the Department name, responsible for the certificate. Country/Region name – Provide the country where the organization is registered. City/Locality – Provide the name of the city where the organization is registered. State/Province – Provide the name of the state/province where the organization is registered. Click Next

What SSL Provider Should I Use?
I have purchased unified SSL certificates for clients numerous times, they auto-renew the certificate yearly so you will not get issues with certificates expiring as you receive a notification. When you purchase bare in mind that you can normally purchase for 3 or 5 years, the longer you purchase for the cheaper they are and less admin work each year. You can use Certificates on all previous Exchange Servers also. Now I will go with Godaddy.
15- Login to your GoDaddy account, select SSL Certificate (Standard UCC SSL up to ….), and then click Manage.
What’s Next?
16- Now you have generated the CSR, we must enter it in your account with us to request the SSL certificate. Locate, copy, & paste the CSR into your online application to request the SSL Certificate. Paste all of the text, including —-BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST—- and —-END CERTIFICATE REQUEST—-, in our online application. Select Add change.

19- Select your SSL certificate pending request and then hit the complete button on the far right-hand side.
20- Simply enter the path to the certificate you will have received from your certificate provider and click ok.
21- The certificate successfully imported, now we need to decide what services the certificate will apply to. You can select the SMTP and IIS if you are using OWA; I am using the defaults here which are SMTP, IMAP, POP and IIS.
