Read this chapter for information
on installing and working with
software on your computer.
You’ll probably want to purchase and install application program software to
do specific kinds of work on your computer. Application programs let you,
among other things, do word processing; create spreadsheets, databases, and
graphics; play games, alone or with others; and explore the Internet.
Your computer includes some basic application programs as well as other
software. Some are preinstalled and ready for use. Others are optional; if you
want to use them, you must install them first.
This chapter explains how to install and use application programs, and
describes the software that came with your computer.
