Hello! 

I have just bought a new computer, its my first time having a pc and i thought i could need some help. I have owned a mac for about 3 years now and i have no idea about the pc so i thought you guys could help me out. I don't know how to boot the computer and i could use some tips on how to use the computer, a little basics of that, thanks!

Welcome to the masterrace

 

anyway, did you buy it as an all in one pc? with an operating system and stuff already installed? because booting would be as simple as pushing the on button then!

um is this a troll or are you serius, to boot you just press the freking power button on your PC

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Well I would beware of vendor installed trash. And vendor installed antivirus software that harasses you.

What is vendor? some sort of virus or what? 

no it's like stuff the manufacturer pre-installed on your PC. nothing to worry about tough, no viruses or anything.

i would advice to download avast! antivirus ASAP tough. it's free!

I massively suggest asking specific questions in the trouble shooting forum, this will get you much more help as people can know exactly what your struggling with.

Oh, and feel free to experiment, try as many things as possible before asking questions as this will help you get general trouble shooting skills and understand how the pc is working in more depth. Then if you get stuck you'll have some more information to help others help you. :)
