1. Wait for the Settings window to load

3. In the Settings window, on the left pane, go to the last option, Windows Update, and click it once

4. Wait for the Windows Update window to load

5. After it loads, click once on the Check for updates button on the right

6. Right after clicking the Check for updates button Windows will start looking for updates. This will be represented by an animation in the top middle part of the window
7. Wait for the animation to stop

8. When the animation stops, Windows Update will show a list of the updates

9. The Check for updates button will change to Download & install all

10. Click the Download & install all button and wait for it to become greyed out

11. After clicking the Download & install all button, the found updates on the list’ status will change individually.

12. Their statuses will start with Downloading and will gradually and individually change to /Installing/Completed/Pending restart

13. Wait for all of the updates on the list to finish the logical order of updating which is Downloading >> Installing >> Completed / Pending restart

14. Notice in this example that we have a total of 3 updates, 2 were already finished being installed and the last one needs the computer to be restarted in order to be fully installed

15. In order to achieve that we need to restart the computer. Notice that the greyed out Download & install all button has changed to a blue Restart now

16. Click the Restart now button in order to restart Windows and finish the update process

17. After booting back up, Windows should be updated.
18. We recommend performing this process again after the update process is done. This is to only be sure that all of the updates were indeed detected, but also to check if the latest updates that had been installed weren’t a dependency of another important update

1. Open your browser of choice. In this article we will use Chrome

2. In the search engine search bar, type DOWNLOAD FIREFOX and hit the ENTER key

3. Wait for search results to appear

4. After the search results appear, look for the one that starts with Get Firefox for desktop.
a. Before you go ahead and click on that search result, make sure that the domain name is firefox.com and that the URL is https://www.firefox.com
b. A very important note:
i. Firefox is downloadable from countless places on the web. It is recommended to download it directly from Firefox’ home page though. Downloading it from a 3rd party would always come with a risk of downloading Firefox with bloatware that is bundled into the installation process and in worse cases, malware.

5. Click on the correct search result

6. In Firefox’ download page, mark the Set Firefox as your default browser and click the Download Firefox button

7. Now the page is supposed to change and you will see at the top of the page the sentence: “Your download should begin automatically. Didn’t work? Try downloading again.
a. At this stage, the Firefox installation file, Firefox installer.exe, should start being downloaded automatically

8. Note the location of the pop-up window clarifying that the file has been downloaded

9. Open the Firefox Installer.exe. In this article we will open it through the Downloads icon in Chrome

10. After opening the file, Windows UAC window will appear. Click YES and wait for the Firefox installation wizard to load

11. Firefox will start installing itself automatically without any manual steps needed to be done

12. Once the installation process is done , Firefox will start itself automatically.

13. Since we marked the “Set Firefox as your default browser” in step 6, Firefox will automatically open the Windows Settings window under Apps > Default apps >Firefox
a. Click the Set Default button to set Firefox as the default browser of your computer

14. There might be a little side pop-up notification from Firefox on the bottom right side of the screen. Click Done.

15. After you clicked the Set default button, note that the icons next to .HTM and .HTML will change from the current icon of the default browser to Firefox’s icon

16. You can close the Windows Settings window

17. Go back to Firefox.

18. Once you are back in Firefox, you will be presented with a Welcome to Firefox pop-up screen. Click the Continue button

19. In the next step, Firefox will give you 2 options:
     a. Pin Firefox to taskbar
     b. Import from previous browser

1. Choose these options at your own discretion
   1. Pin Firefox to taskbar – will attach Firefox’ icon to your Windows taskbar
   2. Import from previous browser – Will start a data importing wizard from whatever previous browser you used – to Firefox

21. In this article we unmarked them both

22. Click the Save and continue button

23. Explore staff recommended extensions – clicking this button is at your own discretion as well
a. Clicking this button will open a new tab and load the Firefox extension store, showing the Extension Starter Pack – Firefox Staff Picks
b. Feel free to browse the various extensions but since this is out of the scope of this article we will skip this step and move on forward

24. Close the extension tab opened in the previous step

25. In this step, Firefox will asks you if you would like to sign in your newly installed Firefox browser with an email account.
a. This feature is very similar to Chrome’s which gives the user the ability to login across multiple devices and share tabs, history, bookmarks and more
b. This is out o the scope of this article, therefore we will skip this step amd move on forward.

26. Click the Start browsing button

27. In the final stage of the configuration, Firefox will show you its homepage which is by default a Google search engine text field and some website shortcuts.

28. Firefox is now ready to be used.
