Chromebook, as goes with the name, is a Google-developed device that runs on Chrome OS. Chrome OS is similar to Android OS but for computers and laptops. Similar to Android smartphones, you need to setup the Chromebook with your Google account to use the device. In the setup process, you need to connect the Chromebook to WiFi and activate the Play Store using your Google account.
How to Set Up Chromebook
1. Power on your Chromebook. Press the Lock button on the laptop keyboard. In the case of a Chromebook computer, connect all the wire connections and turn on the PC.
2. By default, English (United States) will be chosen as the device’s language. If you want to change the language, click the Language button and modify it.
3. Then, tap the Let’s go button.
4. You will get the Connect to network screen. Choose your WiFi Network and click the Next button to enter the WiFi password on Chromebook if needed. You can’t skip the process as Chromebook needs internet for the sign-in process.
5. Now, enter your Google account in the field and click the Next button. If you don’t have a Google account, click More Options to create a new one. But we suggest you create a new account on your PC or smartphone and sign in with the same account on your Chromebook.
7. Then, enter the password to sign in to your Google account.
8. For confirmation, you need to verify the sign-in process on your PC or smartphone.
9. After the verification, click the Take a tour button to get to know the features and options available on Chromebook.
10. Now, you can start using the Chromebook.
If you want to set up the Chromebook for a child, you can use the same steps mentioned above and set parental controls on HP Chromebook.
