NEED YOUR COMPUTER INSTALLED?Install my Computer

When you purchase a new computer from an electronic store, like Harvey Norman, there are a number of things you need to carry out, to ensure your computer is setup correctly.

Configuring your Operating System

Configuring your Operating System correctly is very important. When you turn on your Computer for the first time, you will be taken through a process of configuring your new Computer.

Making sure that your setting is set to Australia like:

  • Your paper size is set to A4 instead of Letter.
  • Your default language is set to English Australian instead of letter.
  • Your Dictionary is set to English Australian instead of English US.

This all may seem very simple, but if these settings are not set correctly the first time, you will have problems down the track when you start using the computer.

Creating restore DVD's

So if your computer has problems down the track you can successfully restore your Computer like it was, when you first purchased it.

Install virus software

When purchasing a new Computer you want to ensure that your system is kept in good shape. To do this we recommend that virus protection is installed on the very first time you use your Computer. Some new Computers come bundled with trial Virus software, which only lasts three to six months. What we do is protect your machine from the start.

We do this by:

  • Install a well known product that will keep you safe.
  • Download all current updates for the software.
  • Schedule and configure automatic virus updates.
  • Schedule and configure automatic virus scans at the appropriate times.
