Software Setup
✎
Read the information below before you begin the software setup
wizard. After you respond to the setup prompt, you must
complete the entire setup process without interruption. Setup time
varies.
The software setup process allows you to
■ Select regional preferences.
■ Accept license agreements.
■ Protect your notebook.
■ 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.
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.
