Software Setup
During software setup you can
■
Select regional preferences.
■
Accept license agreements.
■
Name your notebook.
■
Register online.
■
Create user accounts.
If you prefer not to register your notebook during software setup,
you can do so at any time after software setup is complete. You
can also change or add any settings you select or skip during the
setup process. For instructions, refer to Chapter 2, “Managing
Your Software,” in the printed
Help and Support Guide
included
with your notebook. Although you can register and set
preferences later, it is usually easier and faster to complete
these tasks during software setup.
Software setup begins when you respond to the setup prompt
on the notebook screen.
Ä
CAUTION:
If you are prompted to select an operating system language
before
a window called Welcome to Microsoft Windows
is displayed,
choose carefully. On some models, the languages that you do not
choose are deleted from the system and cannot be restored during
software setup.
■
After you respond to the setup prompt, you must complete the
entire setup process without interruption. Setup time varies.
■
During software setup, it is normal for some notebook
models to pause occasionally for several minutes. These
normal pauses are indicated by an hourglass icon.
