1. Complete the Initial Setup and Install Updates
After turning on your computer, follow the on-screen prompts to choose your region, connect to Wi-Fi, and sign in with your Microsoft, Apple, or Google account depending on the system. Once the basics are done, your first priority should be checking for system updates. These updates include important security patches, bug fixes, and feature improvements. On Windows, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. On macOS, go to System Preferences > Software Update. Install all available updates before doing anything else.
2. Install Antivirus and Security Software
Your new computer might come with basic security tools, but it's still a good idea to install a reputable antivirus or internet security suite. This protects you from malware, phishing attempts, and ransomware from day one. Windows Defender is a good start on Windows, but you can consider options like Norton, Bitdefender, or Kaspersky for added layers of protection. Also, enable your firewall and make sure real-time protection is active.

3. Uninstall Bloatware and Organize Your System
Many new computers come pre-loaded with unnecessary software, often referred to as “bloatware.” These programs can slow down your system and clutter your desktop. Go to your system’s control panel or settings and uninstall any applications you don’t need. Then, create folders to organize your documents, downloads, and other files so everything stays tidy and easy to find as you go.
4. Install Essential Applications
Next, download and install the programs you need for daily use. This may include web browsers like Chrome or Firefox, office suites like Microsoft Office or LibreOffice, cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox, and communication tools like Zoom or Slack. Also, make sure you install any apps specific to your job or personal projects. Consider using a tool like Ninite (for Windows) to install multiple apps quickly and safely.

5. Set Up Backup and Recovery Options
Data loss can happen due to software errors, hardware failure, or accidental deletion. Setting up regular backups ensures that your files are safe. Use built-in tools like File History on Windows or Time Machine on macOS, or opt for cloud backup services like OneDrive, Google Drive, or iCloud. Also, create a system recovery drive or restore point in case you need to reset your computer later.
