    As soon as you boot a fresh laptop it takes you to complete the setup process. Checking Video performance, etc. then bring you the screen to "Select Language", put "User Name" etc.

    How do you turn it off there safely while you are here? I know you can force it to shut down, however the next time it boots it shows you the error screen and you have to " Start Windows Normally - Press Enter". Any way to turn it off safely and avoid the error screen?
