How to Setup a Windows PC: A Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up and Configuring a New Computer Second Edition

We spend so much of our digital lives using a computer but often don't give enough attention to its setup and configuration. That's a missed opportunity since doing it well can supercharge your productivity and safeguard your important data. The topics discussed in this book not only apply to a new computer, but can be used to verify that your current computer is optimized for productivity and security as well.

The steps I discuss include everything you need to know and do to get the best Windows user experience. Scattered throughout the book you will find hundreds of links to useful resources. I have further added appendices about caring for your computer, putting your computer to use when idle, and basic troubleshooting ideas.
