Set up a new starter's IT

Laptop, accounts, security and a first day login that works, for small teams without an IT department.

1. Order or prepare the laptop
2. Create their email and chat accounts
3. Turn on two step sign in for every account. Most people forget this: Accounts made without two step sign in are the easiest way in for attackers
4. Give access to the shared drives they need, and no more (Manager signs off)
5. Sit with them for the first login
6. Show them how to report a problem
7. Check everything works and close the ticket
