How to Use an HP Tablet PC

An HP Tablet PC is, essentially, a laptop computer: It is portable, has a monitor that can close over the keyboard, and can do the same things a typical laptop can do. However, there is one major difference: The monitor on an HP Tablet can be adjusted so it faces up when the computer is folded close. You can even rotate the monitor so it faces to either side of the keyboard. These computers are helpful when you need to make presentations to people sitting in a small group.

Instructions

1. Press the power button on the HP Tablet PC. In a few moments the Windows operating system will load up. Wait for the system to completely load before starting any computing actions.

2. Find the monitor lock on the HP Tablet. The exact location is going to vary depending on what model of HP Tablet you own; howeve, it is typically a small, slidable button found near the screen. Slide this lock in, and you are free to rotate the monitor. You can turn it 180 degrees and close it back down over the keyboard so the screen is facing up. Release the lock button when you want the monitor to lock into place.

3. Insert any software CD you want to install. In a moment the software installation wizard will launch. At the beginning of the wizard is, most likely, a license agreement. Read through and accept the agreement, then follow the remaining prompts to complete the installation for your particular software.

4. Click the "Start" button on the desktop, followed by "All Programs." Here you can select the program you just installed by clicking the program's tab. There may even be a desktop icon that launches the software. If this is the case, double-click the icon.

5. Delete any program with two different ways. Click "Start," "All Programs" and finally the program tab. There may be an "Uninstall" button. If there is, select it and follow the prompts to delete the software. If there isn't, click back on the "Start" button and select "Control Panel." In Control Panel select "Add or Remove Programs." A small window now opens with a list of all the programs installed on the system. Click on the program you want to remove and click "Remove." OK the removal process and the program is deleted.

6. Click the "Start" button and finally "Shut Down." You are now presented with a few different options. You can either "Shut Down" the computer, "Restart" it or "Cancel."
