How to install Windows XP Part 3

1. Set your display preferences. Once Windows loads, you will be told that Windows will automatically configure your display. Click OK to start the configuration. Your screen will flash a couple times, and then you will be asked if you can read the box that appears. 

2. Set your connection preferences. If your computer is connected to the internet, select your connection type. Press Next to continue.

3. Activate your copy of Windows. If connected to the Internet, Select "Activate Now." Windows will connect to the activation server and automatically authenticate your copy of Windows. If you haven’t entered your Product Key yet, you will need to enter it now.

4. Create Users. After the Activation Process, a window will appear allowing you to select the users for the computer. Enter your name, and the names of others who will be using the machine. Press Next to continue.

Start using Windows. You will now be looking at the default Windows XP Desktop. Congratulations! There are a few things that you should probably do now that you have Windows up and running:

• Install any drivers that you need to for your computer’s hardware.

Install an antivirus program if you are connected to the internet.

• Avast
• Avira
• Kaspersky
• Etc

Set your BIOS to boot from the hard drive again instead of the CD.
