Lesson 15: Turning off your computer
It is very important that you let the operating system turn off
your computer. As it shuts down, the operating system
performs a number of tasks that ensure that everything is in
place the next time you turn on the computer.
To turn off the computer using either Turn Off or Shut down,
see “Powering down the computer” on page 99.
