How To Install A New Software In Your Laptop

So you've just discovered a great new calendar, music player, or other program and you want to install it on your machine. Here's how to do it on both Windows and Mac OS X.

On Windows

Installing a new program on Windows is pretty simple. Just head to the program's web site . Usually, this downloads an installer package, which you'll use to install the program itself. Find out where you saved the installer, and double-click on it. This will start the install wizard.

Every install wizard is a little different, but generally it just involves hitting "next" a number of times. That said, here are some things you want to watch out for:

• Instal Type: You'll often be asked to perform a "typical" or a "custom" install (or some variation thereof). In pretty much every situation, a typical install should be just fine.
• Install Location: By default, the installer will probably want to put your program in . Again, the default location is fine.
