Hi – have just finished building my PC (first build ever) and not 100% sure what to do next
Should I power up and test to see if everything is working or go straight to installing the operating system?
If I power up to test, what should I expect to see on the screen, I assume the Bios will come up, will it ask me to do anything?
Or
If I insert the windows 7 CD and then power up- will it automatically boot from that or do I need to set the Bios first to boot from the DVD/CD?
Sorry for asking such basic questions - just worried I’m going to stuff something up !!
Many Thanks
