Installing the Operating System
The first time you turn on the computer, the operating system is installed automatically. This process
takes about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on which operating system is being installed. Carefully read
and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
CAUTION:
Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL
THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the computer during the installation process may damage
the software that runs the computer or prevent its proper installation.
NOTE:
If the computer shipped with more than one operating system language on the hard drive, the
installation process could take up to 60 minutes.
If your computer was not shipped with a Microsoft operating system, some portions of this documentation
do not apply. Additional information is available in online help after you install the operating system.
