Overview
Congratulations on your new Windows desktop computer purchase!
USF IT has created the new Direct2u service that enables you to receive your new Windows computer directly from the vendor. When you log in for the first time, the system will automatically configure and install the basic software you need to be up and running at USF.
The default installation will include: To get started: Below is an example of what you will see, although it may vary slightly depending on the computer you have purchased. If you have questions or run into any issues, USF IT is here to help! We can be reached by calling (813) 974-HELP (4357) or emailing help@usf.edu Please note that if you are setting up a new desktop for more than one person to use, the first person to log in should be the person you want to be the administrator on the machine. Failure to connect an Ethernet cable to establish an internet connection will result in an incomplete install. Once completed, you will be logged into your new computer. After giving your new machine 3 to 4 hours for background installations to occur, please check to see if your Networked Printers and any Networked Drives have reconnected to your new system. If any are missing, please contact USF IT at 813-974-4357 or via itchat.usf.edu for assistance.
