Logging on to a new machine for the first time? Yay! Here's a couple of tips to get you up to speed.

Launch Teams
To use Teams, you will need to launch it from the start menu the first time. After this it will automagically start every time you sign in.
For more information on Teams try the e-Learning course, available through the Cornerstone icon on The Well.
Pinned taskbar programs and jump lists.
If you had any pinned programs (those handy pictures of programs at the bottom row of your screen), you'll need to repin them again. Also, you can setup jump lists to get to those documents even quicker the next time. Here's an article on pinning programs and setting up your jump lists

Bookmarks and favourites
If you use Microsoft Edge (the little blue 'e' icon), your favourite web places will automagically be available on the new machine. If you use Chrome or Mozilla, you will either need to set them up again, or if you still have access to the old machine you can copy them to your OneDrive or a USB drive and then import them.
