How to Start Computer

Connect the computer's power cord into the laptop and use a wall outlet to plug the cord in. Most laptops and portable computers run on a rechargeable battery and do not require power full-time.

2

Find and press the 'Power On' button near the screen on the laptop.

3

Wait for the computer to boot up. A screen showing a logo "starting window"will appear - this is the initial 'boot up' screen.

4

Wait until everything is loaded. The more programs that are set to load when the computer is started, the longer it will take. You may not want to attempt to start up programs or open files right away, as this creates more work for the computer, and this will mean it takes more time before you can begin using the computer.
