Welcome to Tech 101, where we demystify technology and give you the knowledge you need to navigate the digital world. Today, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of starting your computer. Whether you are a beginner or just in need of a refresher, this guide will have you up and running in no time.

What do I need before starting?

Before you embark on the computer starting journey, ensure you have the following essentials:

  • A desktop or laptop computer
  • A power source
  • A monitor
  • A keyboard and mouse

Step 1: Connecting the cables

Begin by placing your computer on a flat surface close to a power outlet. Connect the power cord to the back of your computer’s tower and plug it into the power outlet. Next, connect your monitor to the appropriate port on the back of your computer using the provided cable.

Step 2: Powering up

Once all the cables are properly connected, it’s time to power up your computer. Locate the power button, usually found on the front or top of the computer tower. Press the power button and wait for your computer to come to life.

Step 3: BIOS and Booting

During the startup process, your computer will display the manufacturer’s logo. At this stage, press the designated key to enter the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) setup. The specific key varies depending on your computer’s manufacturer, but it is usually displayed on the screen during startup.

Once in the BIOS setup, you can modify various settings related to your computer’s hardware. However, if you are a beginner, it is generally recommended to leave the default settings unchanged. To exit the BIOS and proceed with booting up your computer, press the designated key to save and exit.

Step 4: Operating System Selection

After exiting the BIOS, your computer will continue the booting process and display the available operating systems (if you have multiple installed). Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate and select the desired operating system. Press Enter to confirm your selection.

Step 5: Login or Create a User Account

Once the operating system finishes loading, you will be prompted to either log in or create a user account. If you already have an account, enter your credentials and click on the login button. If you are a new user, follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account.

Step 6: Welcome to your Desktop!

Congratulations! You have successfully started your computer. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the desktop and explore the various features and applications. You are now ready to embark on your digital journey.

Remember, starting your computer is just the first step. Learning to navigate applications, stay safe online, and troubleshoot common issues will be discussed in future Tech 101 articles. Stay tuned!

We hope this step-by-step guide has demystified the process of starting your computer. Technology can be daunting, but with a little knowledge and practice, you’ll be a pro in no time.
