Turning On the Computer

Turn on the monitor, printer, and any other peripheral devices connected to the

Press the power button located on the left side of the front panel to turn on the
computer.
The power indicator on the left side of the front panel will light up. After a few
seconds, the computer will count the amount of system memory, and then
perform its power-on self test. This is a series of checks the computer runs when
it is turned on to make sure everything is working correctly.

Microsoft. Enter your personal information and the Windows 95 Certificate of
Authenticity number (attached to the Windows 95 User’s Guide). After setting up
Windows 95, you will see the Welcome to Windows 95 screen and desktop
window.
