Assembling a personal computer and installing the Windows operating system are important activities in mastering information technology. This research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the computer assembly process and operating system installation. The methods used include a Research and Development (R&D) approach, hands-on practice, and question-and-answer sessions. The research results show that systematic assembly steps and proper installation can produce a well-functioning computer. In addition, initial testing after assembly is crucial to ensure that all devices are detected correctly. It is hoped that this research can serve as a reference for information technology education and enhance students' practical skills in the field of computers.

Computer assembly is the process of putting together various hardware components to ensure the computer functions optimally. To assemble a computer correctly, a deep understanding of its hardware, both logically and physically, is essential. Additionally, in order for the computer to be used for its intended purpose, software installation is required. This installation includes programs like Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, and others, which help adjust the software to the installed hardware and unpack compressed files. This community service activity is held at SMK Lowis Sakti, Sakra Timur, focusing on computer assembly and installation training. This process plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of efficient and reliable computer systems. A comprehensive knowledge of assembly and installation procedures is necessary to ensure optimal system performance and security. Therefore, the goal of this training is to equip SMK Lowis Sakti students with the skills to assemble and install computers independently, enabling them to apply this knowledge both in school and in the workforce.
