Software Setup

Software setup begins when you respond to the setup prompt on the notebook screen.

ÄCAUTION: If you are prompted to select an operating system language before the Welcome to Microsoft Windows window is displayed, choose carefully. On some models, the languages that you do not choose are deleted from the system and cannot be restored during software setup.

After you respond to the setup prompt, you must complete the entire setup process without interruption. Setup time varies.

During software setup, it is normal for some notebook models to pause occasionally for several minutes. These pauses are indicated by an hourglass icon.
