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. 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.
