Connect the power supply to a wall socket and the mini PC, the HDMI (and\/or DisplayPort) to your display(s). Then any peripherals such as a keyboard & mouse to the USB ports on the mini PC. And you are ready to go! Simply switch on the mini PC and it will boot to the Windows welcome and setup screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Windows<\/a> setup varies a little depending on the version you have installed. You can follow the on-screen prompts. These can include entering your country, keyboard layout and user details. You can connect to the internet and automatically download the latest updates during the setup process. <\/p>\n\n\n

During the setup process, the mini PC may reboot once or twice. Once complete, you will be able to log into Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update Windows, Firmware & Drivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second thing you’ve got to do when first getting started with your mini PC is to ensure you’ve got the latest software, drivers and firmware. Not just for the latest features and performance but more importantly security updates. It’s super important to stay safe and be protected against the latest digital threats. Update your devices, people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
