Starting right

This computer is a powerful tool designed to enhance your work and entertainment. Read this
chapter to learn about best practices after setup, fun things to do with your computer, and where to
get more HP resources.

HP Quick Start (select models only)

HP Quick Start gives you the option to use the familiar Start menu from the Windows desktop. Quick
Start functions like the traditional Windows Start menu and enables you to conveniently open files
and programs using the Windows desktop.

To open HP Quick Start from the Windows desktop, click the HP Quick Start

icon on the

taskbar.

Best practices

To get the most out of your smart investment, after you set up and register the computer, we
recommend the following steps:

Take a minute to browse the printed Windows 8 Basics guide to explore the new Windows®
features.

If you haven’t already done so, connect to a wired or wireless network. See details in
