Microsoft Windows is the latest innovation in PC operating system technology. An operating system is the software that gives your computer the ability to run programs, display your work, and connect to printers, keyboards, and other devices.

The Windows operating system allows you to perform tasks by clicking menu items and small pictures (called icons). Windows also allows more than one program to run at a time, and each program to share information with other programs.

Before you can begin using your Compaq Internet PC, you must complete the Microsoft Windows setup process and register your new computer. When you turn on your computer for the first time, the Microsoft Windows setup begins automatically.
