Create a Folder with Windows
Qwiklabs Overview
In this IT Support Professional Certificate, we will be using a tool called Qwiklabs to simulate many of the real-world experiences you may encounter in a tech role. In this lab, you will familiarize yourself with the Qwiklabs platform and interact with a Windows virtual machine.
Lab Introduction
This lab will introduce you to the Qwiklabs online learning platform, powered by the Google Cloud Console. You’ll interact with Qwiklabs in lots of courses of the IT Support Professional Certificate program, so it’s important that you follow these instructions carefully. We’ll give you some background information about what Qwiklabs are, how these labs will help train you as an IT Support Specialist, and how to setup your Google Cloud Console via Qwiklabs. Finally, you’ll interact with the lab materials themselves. Ready? Let’s get started!
What you’ll do
There are two learning objectives for this lab:
Familiarize yourself with the Qwiklabs environment and log into the Google Cloud Console.

Head's up
You'll experience a delay as the labs initially load (particularly for Windows labs). So, please wait a couple of minutes for the labs to load. Please also make sure to access the labs directly through Coursera and not in the Qwiklabs catalog. If you access the labs through the Qwiklabs catalog, you will *not* receive a grade. (As you know, a passing grade is required to matriculate through the course.) The grade is calculated when the lab is complete, so be sure to hit "End Lab" when you're done!
