Step 4: Set up the software
After the computer is turned on, it will go through a brief
software setup. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the
software. Note the following:
After you respond to the setup prompt, you must complete
■
the entire setup process without interruption. Setup time
varies.
During software setup, it is normal for some computer
■
models to pause occasionally for several minutes. These
normal pauses are indicated by an hourglass icon.
CAUTION: If you are prompted to select an operating system language
Ä
before the "Welcome to Windows" page is displayed, choose carefully.
On some models, the languages that you do not choose are deleted
from the system and cannot be restored during software setup.
✎
To register your operating system and your computer, you
must be connected to the Internet. For more information about
connecting to the Internet, refer to Appendix C in this guide. If
you do not send your registration during software setup, you
can do so at any time after software setup is complete.
