Default Computer Setup Tips

Admit it: The minute your new PC arrives, you tear into it like a kid on Christmas morning, plugging cables into ports, installing software, and downloading files. But before you forge ahead — even if you've set up computers in the past — think about taking
a more conservative approach to setting up your new computer:

Save all paperwork, especially the purchase receipts. Start a file for your PC, just like the one you keep for your car, and make sure that you keep track of everything as you open each box.
Save the box. Should you need to return the unit, many vendors require that it be shipped in the original packaging. Plan on keeping the boxes and packing material at least until your warranty or service agreement expires.
Save all the installation disks. In addition to providing a vital backup if something goes wrong, these disks often include serial numbers and other information you'll need if you call for technical support.
Patience Makes Perfect

Resist the temptation to plug in anything right away. Sit back, relax, and read the instruction manual — even if this isn't your first PC. You may be surprised by some of the features included with your new computer, so consider this a fact-finding mission that can save you time and trouble — and perhaps an expensive call to a tech support line.
