The first time you turn on the personal computer, the operating
system is installed automatically. This process takes about 5 to 10
minutes, depending on which operating system is being installed.
Carefully read and follow the instructions that appear on the screen to
complete the installation.

OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning
off the personal computer during the installation process might damage

When the Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, the Windows
installation process is complete.
