In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of unboxing and turning on your new computer, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free setup.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies Before diving into the unboxing process, make sure you have all the necessary supplies on hand:

• Your new UserControl PC
• Power cables and adapters
• A monitor (if it's a desktop computer)
• Keyboard and mouse
• A stable workspace with a power outlet nearby

Step 2: Choose the Right Location Select a suitable location for your computer setup. Ensure there's enough space for your monitor (if applicable), keyboard, and mouse. Place the computer on a stable surface, such as a desk or table, and make sure it's well-ventilated to prevent overheating. Roughly 6 inches of space on all 4 sides and top is recommended.

Step 3: Unbox Your Computer Now, it's time to open the box and take out your new computer. Here's how to do it:

1. Carefully cut the tape or open any flaps securing the box shut.
2. Lift the top of the box and set it aside.
3. Inside, you'll find your computer, surrounded by protective packaging materials. Gently lift the computer out
4. Remove the outer layer of protective packaging material
5. Place your new PC on your workspace.
6. If your new PC is a desktop, open your PC side panel and remove any protective packaging material inside before powering it on

Step 4: Connect the Hardware Depending on whether you have a laptop or a desktop, the steps to connect the hardware may differ slightly:

For Desktop Computers:

1. Find the power cable and connect one end to the computer's power supply unit (usually located at the back of the computer) and the other end to a nearby power outlet.
2. If your computer came with a separate monitor, connect the monitor's cable (usually HDMI or DisplayPort) to both the computer and the monitor.
3. Connect the keyboard and mouse to available USB ports on the computer.

For Laptop Computers:

1. Open the laptop and connect it to a power source using the provided power adapter and cable.
2. If you have any external peripherals like a keyboard or mouse, you can connect them to the laptop's USB ports.

Step 5: Power On Your Computer With everything connected, it's time to power on your new computer:

1. Locate the power button on your computer or laptop. It's typically located on the front, top, or side.
2. Press the power button to turn on your computer.

Step 6: Initial Setup After powering on your computer, you'll be guided through the initial setup process. Follow these basic steps:

1. Select your language and region preferences.

3. Create or sign in to your user account.
4. Customize your settings, such as screen brightness and keyboard layout.

Step 7: Install Updates Once your computer is up and running, it's a good idea to check for and install any available software updates, including operating system updates, drivers, and security patches. This will help ensure your computer is running smoothly and securely.

Step 8: Install Software and Personalize Now that your computer is set up, you can start installing your favorite software, such as web browsers, office applications, and any other tools you need. Personalize your computer by customizing the desktop background, screensaver, and other settings to make it feel like your own.
