Get started with a Chromebook
Step 1 of 6: Wake and sign in
Open the lid and press a key or the power button if needed. Select your account and follow its password or PIN prompt. On first startup, complete the language, network and Google Account setup.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 6: Make the display comfortable
Select the time at the bottom right, then Settings and Accessibility. Review Display and magnification controls. Change one option at a time so you can judge whether it helps.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 6: Find and open an app
Select the Launcher in the screen’s corner and search for Chrome. Open it. The shelf also offers shortcuts to installed apps.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 6: Create your practice note
Type keep.google.com into Chrome’s address bar. Check your Google Account, then select Take a note. Add the title ‘Practice note’ and a short sentence.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 6: Finish and find it again
Use Done or close the note to return to the list. Keep saves automatically. Reopen it to check your text. This note belongs to your Google account rather than being a local Downloads file.
