Starting

Power Up

To start the computer, turn on the power to the computer and monitor. The computer and the monitor have separate power switches that may be located on the front, side, or back of the monitor and computer.

Booting
The computer starts a process called booting. During this process the computer:
  • Checks its memory and other parts to insure they are working properly.
  • Starts the operating system.

Wait a few minutes until Microsoft Windows Desktop appears on the screen.

After the desktop appears, the computer is ready to use.
