Chapter 1: What’s next?

Connecting to the Internet

After you set up your computer, you can connect to a wireless or wired network so that you can connect to the Internet and send and receive e-mail. Refer to Chapter 2, “Connecting to the Internet,” for more information.

Protecting your computer from viruses

After you have connected to the Internet, manage your computer’s defenses with Windows Security Center. HP also recommends that you always update the antivirus software. Antivirus software helps protect your computer from damage caused by viruses. Refer to Chapter 4, “Keeping your computer safe,” for more information.

Locating the electronic manuals

For detailed information about your computer, such as information about power management, drives, memory, security, and other features, click Start, click Help and Support, and then click User Guides. You do not need to connect to the Internet to access the user guides in Help and Support.
