How to Set up Your New Computer

If you have just barely purchased a new computer and are unfamiliar with exactly how they work, then you may run into some issues involved with it. Almost every new user will run into these problems as they go.

First off, setting up the computer is sometimes frustrating to those who do not have experience with it. Luckily, it has gotten considerably simpler over the last few years, so it is a straightforward process.

Your computer as a basic model is going to be made up of these distinct parts- the monitor, the computer itself, the keyboard, the mouse, and the cords. You will want to place the connect the relevant power cords to the CPU and the monitor, and then use the VGA cable to connect the computer to the monitor.

The VGA cable is noteworthy because of the way it features little screw ends for better attachment. Simply match the shape of the VGA cable into the relevant slots and gently screw it in until secure. At this point, you should have the power cords inserted into the CPU and monitor and have them plugged in, and have them connected to each other via the VGA cable.

Last of all, we are going to plug in the mouse and keyboard. These will plug into the back of the computer. If they have colored ends, then match the colors to the same colored slots on the back of the computer. If they have USB ports, then plug them in gently to the right slots.

Now your computer will be ready to use! Turn it on and follow the instructions on the screen.

By following these basic steps, we have set up the standard computer that most of us have. Time to start using it!
