Setting Up Your Inspiron One

Set Up Microsoft Windows

Your Dell computer is preconfigured with the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. To set up Windows for the first time, follow the instructions on the screen. The Windows setup screen will take you through several procedures including accepting license agreements, setting preferences, and setting up an Internet connection. The Windows setup may take some time to complete.

CAUTION: Do not interrupt the operating system’s setup process. Doing so may render your computer unusable and you will need to reinstall the operating system.

NOTE: For optimal performance of your computer, it is recommended that you download and install the latest BIOS and drivers for your computer available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

Connect to the Internet (Optional)

To connect to the Internet, you need an external modem or network connection and an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

If an external USB modem or Wireless LAN adapter is not a part of your original order, you can purchase one from the Dell website at www.dell.com.

Setting Up a Wired Connection

If you are using a dial-up connection, connect the telephone line to the external USB modem (optional) and to the telephone wall connector before you set up your Internet connection.

If you are using a DSL or cable/satellite modem connection, contact your ISP for setup instructions.
