Module 00: Course Orientation and Setup
Lesson 00.2: What You Need Before You Start
Lesson Promise
Prepare accounts, apps, sample data, and expectations before hands-on work.
Real-World Scenario
A learner has a personal Microsoft account, a work account, old Office apps, and no idea which one should be used.
Core Concept
Different Copilot experiences can appear depending on whether you use a personal account, work or school account, Microsoft 365 apps, or a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
Good setup prevents frustration: record what you have, prepare safe examples, and avoid promising workflows you have not verified.
Step-By-Step Workflow
- Identify personal versus work or school account access.
- Check the Microsoft 365 Copilot app and key Microsoft 365 apps.
- Record license labels or availability messages where visible.
- Prepare safe sample documents, emails, notes, and spreadsheets.
- Create a feature inventory note.
- Ask an admin or Microsoft source when a feature is missing.

Course Setup Checklist
Common Mistakes
- Starting with private work data before learning the safety routine.
- Assuming every learner sees the same Copilot buttons, agents, or app features.
- Treating missing features as user error instead of checking account, license, tenant, and rollout.
- Skipping source and human review because the first answer sounds confident.
- Trying every module at once instead of building a steady weekly learning path.
Quiz / Checkpoint
