Adding and removing programs from your computer can be done in a few different ways. Depending on the type of program you are trying to add or remove, the methods and steps may differ.
Adding a Program
1. Go to the website where you plan to download the program from.
2. Select the version of the program you want, read the terms and conditions of use, and click “Download”.
3. Depending on the type of file, a prompt will appear asking you what to do with the file. This prompt could be a message to Run the program or Save the file to a location on your computer.
4. If you select ‘Run’, the program will install itself on your computer. If you select ‘Save’, the program will be downloaded as a single file to a location on your computer.
5. If you have chosen to save the file, double click the file to begin the installation process. Otherwise, the program will begin installing itself automatically.
6. During the installation process, you may come across prompts asking for information such as which features to install, where to install it, and creating a desktop icon or a start menu shortcut. Read all the prompts carefully, and make your selections.
7. Once the program is finished installing, it will open automatically.
Removing a Program
1. On your computer, go to the Start Menu.
2. Select the “Control Panel.”
3. Select the “Programs and Features” option.
4. Find the program that you want to remove, either by scrolling through the list or searching for it.
5. Highlight the program and select “Uninstall” from the menu at the top of your screen.
6. Follow the instructions given in the uninstallation wizard to remove the program from your computer.
7. Once the program is uninstalled, restart your computer.
It is important to note that some programs may not have an uninstaller, and those can be removed manually by deleting the program’s folder from your “Program Files” folder. It is also important to note that some programs will leave behind system files that can cause problems if not removed properly. Before removing any program, check the program’s website for specific instructions on how to uninstall it.
