●If you haven’t already done so, connect to a wired or wireless network. See details in Connecting to a network on page 16.

●Become familiar with the computer hardware and software. For more information, see Getting to know your computer on page 5 and Enjoying entertainment features on page 23.

●Update or purchase antivirus software. See Using antivirus software on page 53.

●Back up your drive by creating recovery discs or a recovery flash drive. See Backing up, restoring, and recovering on page 59.
