Click on your user icon to log into Windows. Each user can have his or her own personalized settings. (You can change your login picture later if you wish. Just go to “Control Panel” and select “User Accounts.”)

 

You’ve now successfully installed Windows XP onto your computer. You can operate your computer and install software. Congratulations!
