1 Push the power button briefly and release it. Every computer has a power button. (When we can no longer turn them off, the machines win.) If you have a desktop computer tower, the power button is probably on the front of the tower. Otherwise, you might have to feel around the front and sides of the screen or near the hinges of a laptop. Typically, your computer will beep, some buttons will light, and the screen may flash a logo or a message that disappears before you can read it. (Just let that go.) Soon, you will see the Windows 10 Lock screen.

2 Turn on any separate hardware (such as a monitor, speakers, or a printer), if necessary.

3 Enter your password and press Enter (or select the Submit button, the button on the right side of the password textbox). Soon the Windows 10 desktop screen appears, as shown in Figure 1-9.

If you don’t see the Password text box, jiggle the mouse or press a key on the keyboard to wake up Windows 10.

The first time you turn on a new computer, a series of Windows Setup screens appears. Accept the defaults or change them appropriately and then select the button labeled Next.

If your computer doesn't have a keyboard, as is the case with many tablet computers, see the preceding section, “View the Touch Keyboard,” for information on how to type onscreen.

If this is the first time that Windows 10 has started on your computer, you must create a user account, even if no one else will use the machine. See Chapter 4 for details on creating and changing user accounts.
