new computer. what to do first?
Discussion
Bought a new laptop yesterday (Lenovo) which should arrive today.
It's running Windows 8.1, of which I have absolutely zero experience (been running WinXP until now)
What are the first steps I should take when the computer arrives? ie. Setting up user accounts, creating back-up discs (is it likely to come with a Disc for Windows? I doubt it, so how do you do restores etc?), deleting 'bloatware', partioning drives?
What is 'best practice' for setting up a new computer optimally?
I'm going to be installing Sage and OpenOffice initially.
