# Installation and security (R1.03)

Background: `knowledge/manuals/IM36K01C10-01EN.md` (Setup) and
`knowledge/manuals/IM36K01C30-01EN.md` (Security Guide). Known issues:
`knowledge/manuals/IM36K01A50-01EN.md` (IT Security tool, install path, VMs).

Rules:
- Run the `system-check` skill first.
- Installing, upgrading, changing Windows settings or IT security needs an elevated session,
  changes the machine and often needs restarts: follow the user's chosen way of working and
  confirm before each step. In *prepare only* mode, produce a checklist for the user.
- Never copy old setup files over new ones after an upgrade: compare and merge.
