New Gateway DX430X desktop is being delivered tomorrow. What are some of the things I should do before using it?
I know to inspect the inside of tower for components that may have come loose in shipping. And I would like to “back up” the system before using it or installing additional software. I am not familiar with Vista. So what important steps do I take when the computer arrives?
Thank you for your input.
 
Apart from just checking to see if you have been "jipped" of any hardware like a short any memory, or a slower CPU or graphics, I don't see any other steps you need to take. Since your computer is a branded PC, it should come with a recovery disc anyway, so should anything happens you can use the CDs to restore your computer to the condition you got it. (software-wise that is)
