Registration
The first time you turn on
your computer, you are
guided through the
registration process before
accessing the Windows
desktop. It is very important
that you register:
➜
Windows with
Microsoft
➜
Your new computer with
Compaq
Registering with Microsoft
enables you to receive
software updates, and
important notices about new
Microsoft products.
Registering with Compaq
enables you to receive
technical support for the
hardware, software updates
for Compaq programs, and
other special offers.
Any time you install new
software or hardware, be sure
to register it with the

Registering with Compaq and Microsoft
The registration screen allows you to register with Microsoft
and Compaq from the same display. When you have entered
your personal information (name, address, etc.), you can choose
to register with Microsoft or with Compaq or both.
To register the Windows operating system with Microsoft, fill in
the first check box. To register your computer with Compaq, fill
the second check box. We recommend that you check both
boxes. When you’ve filled in the necessary registration
information, click the Next button to move to the next screen.
When you have finished, you are ready to set up an account
with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Refer to the following
page.
