After logging in, your device will appear as if it is brand new. Applications, policies, and profiles will begin to install in the background. We recommend leaving your laptop powered on and connected to the internet while this process runs. Feel free to use any web applications during this time.

This process generally takes about an hour to run. Reboot your laptop after an hour. If your laptop has the Core4ce desktop background, that is typically a great indicator that most (if not all) of your applications and policies have successfully been received.

Afterwards, you should be all set! Here are some final pointers to leave you with.
