Quick Setup

Step 6: Turning On the Personal Computer and Installing the Operating System

Press the power button to turn on the personal computer.

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.

CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the personal computer during the installation process might damage the software that runs the personal computer.

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

Step 7: Turning Off the Personal Computer

To properly turn off the personal computer, first exit the operating system. In Windows, click Start > Shut Down. In Windows operating systems, pressing the power button does not turn off the power, but causes the personal computer to enter a low-power state. This allows you to quickly power down, without closing applications, and to quickly return to the same operational state without any data loss.
