In this time of pandemic, owning a laptop is a big step in coping with the challenges

brought by the COVID-19 crisis particularly in the field of education. Learning how to
use your laptop is another big step and a responsibility to engage and learn in a
distance learning setup. The following steps will guide you to learn how to use your own
laptop. First, get your laptop and place it on a flat surface where you can comfortably
use it. This will help you execute the succeeding steps properly and also will prevent the
laptop from falling and getting scratches. Second, lift the lid to open and search for the
button to turn it on. It can be found in the top-left, top-right or the sides of your laptop
with a power button icon. Third, wait for it to boot up. There are some laptops that take
several minutes to boot up because of their specialized hardware. Fourth, use the
laptop’s pointing device or its touchpad. It can be used as the primary mouse button by
pressing the left click button and also as the secondary mouse button by pressing the
right click button. Finally, install your needed software or programs like MS Word,
Google Chrome, Anti-Virus, etc. Keep your software up to date. Make sure that you are
internet connected so you can do this step. Learning how to use your laptop can be a
crucial process but it is something that you should not be afraid of; following the
mentioned steps will be of a great help.
