Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 allows you to join a wireless network before logging into a computer. This can be very useful when you sign into a computer with wireless capability for the first time, and a wired connection is not available.This can also be useful to login to SCC laptop computers that are on carts and have Windows 8.1 installed.
After the computer is powered on, you will come to the login screen.On the login screen, there will be a wireless network icon on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. It is shown below, but will show the wireless icon instead of network icon.
Once you click on this icon, it will bring up a list of wireless networks that are available. You will need to select SCC Secure and enter your SCC username and password.
After you have entered your username and password, the computer will authenticate your credentials and join the wireless network. Once the wireless network is joined, you can login to the computer with your SCC username and password using the main login boxes.
