How to setup a new Windows computer

All Windows computers need to be logged into with your email address and Microsoft password. Most computer setup will be done automatically after you have logged in for the first time.

Important note: You must be connected to the Internet for the computer to register properly to your account. Do not attempt to setup a user without being connected to the internet.

Note: Because of our rebrand from eFileCabinet to Revver, you may see some wording or screenshots that still say eFileCabinet; we are still in the process of changing some names and links.
