Quick Setup
Step 6: Turning On the Personal Computer and
Installing the Operating System
Press the power button to turn on the personal computer.
The first time you turn on the personal computer, the operating
system is installed automatically. This process takes about 5 to 10
minutes, depending on which operating system is being installed.
Carefully read and follow the instructions that appear on the screen
to complete the installation.
CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF
THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the
personal computer during the installation process might damage the software
that runs the personal computer.
When the Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, the Windows
installation process is complete.
Step 7: Turning Off the Personal Computer
To properly turn off the personal computer, first exit the operating
system. In Windows, click Start > Shut Down. In Windows
operating systems, pressing the power button does not turn off the
power, but causes the personal computer to enter a low-power state.
This allows you to quickly power down, without closing
applications, and to quickly return to the same operational state
without any data loss.
