- Ready to start? Then get comfortable! Always follow the instructions step by step. Remember, one missed stage is a headache in waiting.
- Before you switch on, check that your mouse and keyboard are connected at the back of the computer.
- When installing any peripheral such as a printer, scanner or webcam always switch on your computer and load up your computer first before plugging the device in.
- Choose English (English UK) as the keyboard layout when running your computer for the first time (English US will give you unwanted problems later)
- Keep your computer away from heat appliances such as radiators.
- Always shut down your computer correctly - not just by pressing the on / off button.
- If you use the computer for long periods - invest in a good quality computer chair.
- Always use a surge protector - the initial cost is well worth all the repair bills it could save you later.
