When you start the computer for the first time, a few system start-up

messages may appear, including one that shows your Service Tag and

Express Service Code.

Your computer is preconfigured with the operating system already installed.

Before turning on your computer for the first time, you must complete all

the previous setup steps, connecting all devices for your computer.

The initial setup of the operating system is automatic and may take several

minutes. Additional setup time may be required, depending on your

system’s internal and external devices.

Follow the operating system prompts to complete setup. You may be

prompted to enter the Windows Product Key (also called the Product ID or

COA) to complete the registration. You can find this above the service tag

on your computer.
