Best practices
After you set up and register the computer, we recommend the following steps:
●If you haven’t already done so, connect to a wired or wireless network. See details in Connecting to a network on page 10.
●Become familiar with the computer hardware and software. For information, go to Getting to know your computer on page 4 and Enjoying entertainment features on page 14.
●Back up your hard drive by creating a recovery drive. See Backing up, restoring, and recovering on page 39.
Fun things to do
●You know you can listen to music on the computer. But did you know that you can also stream live radio to the computer and listen to music or talk radio from all over the world? See Using audio on page 14.
●Experience music the way the artist intended, with deep controlled base and clear, pure sound. See Using Beats Audio on page 15.
●Use the new Windows 8 touch gestures for smooth control of images and pages of text. See Using touch screen gestures on page 16.
