Once the machine reaches the Windows desktop, the installation is complete and the device can be used. Some additional software installation/configuration will continue to happen in the background, but that is normal.

Software Center
Software Center is an application on university machines that handle updates and allows a user to download software and updates. You'll be able to download anything in Software Center without the need for admin credentials. If you have specific software that isn't in Software Center, please submit a ticket at support.uidaho.edu. If you need to purchase software, please submit a procurement ticket at the procurement request.

Connecting multiple monitors
To add and set up multiple monitors to your computer, you'll need to go to the display options in settings.
![This image shows where to find the display settings.](https://support.uidaho.edu/TDPortal/Images/Viewer?fileName=b2499152-ac00-495f-bbf3-3981a9ada7dc.png&beidInt=2)
Once you are in the display settings, you should see a display screen with the ability to rearrange your monitors. You'll also see a identify button. This will show the identification on each monitor (1, 2, 3, etc.). Using the identification monitors can be click-dragged to a position that is comfortable.
Sometimes by default, your screens will be set as duplicate. You'll need to change it to "Extend these displays" to allow the other monitor(s) to be used independently.

If you are having issues with the computer not detecting a monitor, make sure that all the inputs and cables are put in correctly. If you are still having issues, submit a ticket to support.uidaho.edu.
Finding device D-Tag
An important thing to remember is the location of the D-Tag of your device, this helps in troubleshooting your device should the need occur.
The device tag is a blue and silver tag located on the underside of your device. The 6-digit code preceded by "D-" is the D-Tag number.
DO NOT REMOVE THE D-TAG
Example of a D-Tag:
![This is a photo of a D tag.](https://support.uidaho.edu/TDPortal/Images/Viewer?fileName=b6e1732e-9bba-4ea8-a871-07fbd87348e4.png)
You can personalize the Taskbar by clicking on the Windows icon, type in Taskbar, and selecting Taskbar Settings option under Best match.

Under the Taskbar settings, most people will want to change the Taskbar alignment. To do this you can choose Taskbar behaviors and then choose which preferred alignment (Left or Center) you would like to have for your Taskbar.
