Starting Windows XP the First Time
Registering Windows XP with Microsoft
In order to ensure that you receive the most benefits from the Windows operating system, it should be
registered the first time you use it.
After you receive the Windows Welcome screen, you will be prompted to enter registration information
in the following order.
First of all, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs). After accepting
the EULAs, you will be asked if you want to enable the Automatic Updates feature. Acceptance of this
feature is recommended because it allows your system to be updated automatically whenever an important
change becomes available for your notebook.
Several additional windows will appear, prompting you to enter a name and description for your computer,
an Administrator password, and a domain name. Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in
the information as directed.
You will then be automatically connected to the Internet, if you have an appropriate connection available.
If an automatic connection is not possible, you will be asked about how you dial out from where you will
be using your LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line and plan to register at a later
time, you may click the Skip button.
3Once you are connected to the Internet, you will be asked if you wish to continue with the registration.
If you select Yes you will then enter your name and address, and email address if desired. Click Next
to complete registration.
