Turning On the Computer for the First Time

After you’ve completed connecting the components of the HP Pavilion by using the steps illustrated on the setup poster, you’re ready to turn on the computer.

First, press the Power button on the monitor. Then, to turn on the computer, press the On button on the front of the PC.

Note: The power supply is pre-set for the country/region in which you purchased the HP Pavilion. If you move to another country/region, please make sure you check its voltage requirements before plugging your PC into an AC power outlet.

Your computer may look different from the ones shown here.

When you first turn on the computer, a series of startup screens appears. For some models, you choose your language: click an option to select your language, and then click OK. Confirm your selection by clicking Yes. Wait while the PC makes preparations. (It may take up to 15 minutes to prepare your language.)

To proceed with the initial Microsoft® Windows® setup, you must answer a few questions.
