Mac Computer Setup

Upon joining this HNC course, one of the first steps for us to take was the set up of our own mac computers, I’d never done this before so I presumed it would be a somewhat difficult task, considering I had never set up a computer on my own before let alone an Apple Mac. However my expectations were misguided, as the task of setting up our Mac was surprisingly quite simple.

After taking all of the hardware out of its packaging it was a simple matter of plugging in the monitor, and then attaching the keyboard and mouse to it. It actually turned out to be very simple and easy to set up. The actual startup of the Mac also turned out to be quite straightforward with easy to follow audible instructions. The only problems that anyone encountered were the steps necessary to set up the Internet connection, however once given a password to access the network the rest of the setup followed quite easily. We continued on with the steps for the set up and created our own accounts in order to allow us to begin our work.
