It is in the final part of the installation that you actually boot into XP. You are prompted to click ‘OK’ in a dialog box, and doing so will set the optimal resolution supported by both your monitor and display adapter. If satisfied, click ‘OK’ to proceed.
A welcome screen comes up as you start your first XP session. Click ‘Next’.
In the next screen, you are provided with the option to enable or disable “Automatic Updates,” which help keep Windows updated with the latest security and critical updates, bug fixes and service packs from Microsoft. Of course, you’ll need an Internet connection for this.
Windows then checks if your computer is connected to the Internet, and proceeds to update your version of Windows using Automatic Update.
Next, you are given the option of either registering your copy of Windows with Microsoft right then or at a later date. Registration is optional. If you’re registered, you’ll be notified about new products, updates, events, promotions and special offers from Microsoft. If you do not have an Internet connection, select ‘No’ and click ‘Next’.
In the screen that follows, you will be asked to enter the names of the users who will use the computer. Separate user accounts with these names are created—these can be later personalized. You need to enter your name in order to proceed to the next screen and complete the XP setup.
