How to Set Up a New Android Tablet
Follow these steps to set up a new Android tablet.
Do You Need a Google Account to Set Up a Tablet?
A Google Account is not required to set up an Android tablet, and you can skip several steps in the setup process. This will disable key features, however, including the Google Play store and Google services like Gmail or Maps. Most users will prefer to use a Google Account. Alternatively, you may be able to use mobile data if your tablet supports it and you have a SIM card installed. If you choose Copy, follow the on-screen instructions to copy data from your previous Android device. Most Android tablets will let you skip this step if desired. It’s possible to add a Google account after the setup is complete. Turn on the services you want to use and then tap Accept. Alternatively, you can select No Thanks to move to the next step. You can set up Google Assistant later if desired. Select the option you prefer and follow the instructions for it. Don’t worry about selecting the best option, as you can change this setting after set up is complete.
How Do I Connect My Tablet to My Google Account?
A new Android tablet will connect to your Google account when you enter your Google ID and password during the set up process. You can also add a Google account in Android’s settings if you skip this part of set up.
