How to starting and shutting down a computer step by step

A computer is an electronic machine. We need to start it and shut it down properly, otherwise, it may give problems later. Let us learn how to do it. 

How to start a computer 

We should follow these steps carefully for starting the computer: 

Step 1. Insert the UPS plug into the socket and turn on the main power supply. 

Step 2. Switch ON the CPU.

Step 3. Turn on the monitor and watch the screen carefully.

Step 4. After a few seconds of that, you will see the main page. The main page will look like this after the computer is switched ON.

Sure, here are the steps to start a computer running Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10:

1. Ensure that your computer is plugged in to a power source and that it is turned on.
2. Press the power button on your computer’s case. The power button is typically located on the front or back of the computer case.
3. Wait for the computer to power on. You should hear a series of beeps, and the computer’s fan should start spinning. If you do not hear any sound or see any lights, make sure that the computer is properly plugged in and that the power outlet is working.
4. Once the computer has finished booting up, you will see the Windows login screen. If your computer is set to automatically log in, you will not see this screen.
5. Click on your user account icon or enter your username and password if prompted. If your computer requires a password to log in, enter your username and password when prompted.
6. Once you’ve entered your username and password, your computer should load your desktop. From here, you can open programs, browse the internet, and perform other tasks on your computer.

That’s it! The process for starting a computer is essentially the same across all versions of Windows, but the user interface may look slightly different. If you encounter any issues during this process, such as a blank screen or error message, consult your computer’s user manual or contact a technical support representative for assistance.

Step 6. Then, click OK.

Step 7. You will receive this message.
