Turning on the power
Never turn off the power during Windows setup. Turning off the power switch or pulling
out the power cord in the middle of this process may lead to damage. If there is some
sort of problem or you accidentally press the power switch, please see "If you
encounter problems during setup" (p.5).

for a while.

6 and 7.
Setup cannot progress to the next step unless you enter a valid user name and
computer name.
If you do not accept the license terms, setup cannot continue.
