basic guide on how to use a computer:

1. Set up your computer: If you are setting up a new desktop computer, there are a few
steps you will need to go through before you can start using it. After finding a place
near your desk to put the tower, you will need to connect your monitor, keyboard, and
mouse, as well as plug the tower into a power source 1.
2. Create an account: If it’s your first time turning on a brand new computer, you’ll usually
be asked to create an account. This account will hold all of your documents, pictures,
downloaded files, and any other files that you create 1.
3. Get familiar with the desktop: The desktop is the main work area of your
computer. Your desktop appears every time you log into your account, and contains
icons and shortcuts to your programs and files 1.
4. Learn mouse and keyboard basics: You interact with a computer mainly by using the
keyboard and mouse, or a trackpad on laptops. Learning to use these devices is
essential to learning to use a computer 1.
5. Open an application: Applications (or apps) are the tools you use on your computer to
perform specific tasks. To open an application, you can click on its icon from the
desktop or from the Start menu1.
6. Find your files: Your files are stored in a file system, and you’ll need to know how to
navigate this system in order to find your files 1.
7. Install your first program: Programs are pieces of software that perform functions on
your computer. You’ll need to know how to install a program, which involves
downloading it from the internet or installing it from a disc, and then running the
installation program1.
Remember, the more you use your computer, the more comfortable you’ll become with
it. Don’t be afraid to explore and try new things 1.
