presentation laptop. When you have selected all of the
Apps you think you will need

This can take 15 to 20
minutes, so be sure to take
care of this a few hours
before the big presentation

skip the update at any time.
When it is ready, open the
easy to install. Now that
you are ready, copy all of the critical presentations files
to the new Documents folder, and from there your exec
will always be able to make a successful presentation.
You can now up

tion documentation to
the Documents Folder
of the USB stick and
then your exec can
present from any PC.
Now start your
presentation with the pre-loaded PowerPoint slide up-
loaded to the USB Documents folders, and you are ready
to go.
