When a new computer appears in the house, fully equipped in a store, then an inexperienced user has a question about how to put it into operation. To do this, you do not need to call a specialist. Even a person who has not previously dealt with a computer can connect all the devices and boot the computer.
Instructions
Step 1
After the computer has been delivered from the store, you need to assemble it. Connect the wire from the monitor to the connector on the video card on the system unit, connect the mouse and keyboard. Connect the monitor power to the power supply or plug it into a power outlet. Then plug the wire from the power supply into the network. Your best bet is to power your computer through a surge protector to prevent power surges from damaging sensitive electronic equipment.
Step 2
If the computer was bought in winter, do not turn it on as soon as it is brought into the apartment. Give it a few hours so that the temperature of all parts of it is the same as in the room.
Step 3
A computer assembled from a store usually comes with an operating system preinstalled. If this is just such a case, to get started, just plug the device into an outlet and press the power button, which is located on the system unit. After that, you will see how the operating system starts to load. Soon, the Desktop will appear on the screen, which means that you can start working on your computer.
Step 4
When there is no operating system, you can either install it yourself, or ask those who have more experience than you to do it. It is not difficult to install the operating system yourself, but for this you need a disk with a distribution kit. Insert it into the drive and turn on the computer. Instructions will appear on the screen, just follow them. When in doubt, ask someone who is good with computers to help you with the installation.
Step 5
Most likely, the computer was purchased for several people, which means that each of them needs to create their own user account. This will allow everyone to install their own programs and choose individually themes and interface designs. To ensure data security, it is recommended to set a password for all accounts. Even if the computer has one user, the presence of a password will allow you to hide private data when one of the guests or relatives tries to view them. If the computer is turned on for the first time, the system itself will offer to create user accounts.
