The document provides step-by-step instructions for building a desktop computer. It details the components needed, including the motherboard, CPU, RAM, graphics card, power supply, case and cooler. It then outlines how to install each component, such as locating the CPU socket, lowering the CPU into place, inserting RAM into slots, and securing the power supply. Finally, it describes setting up the BIOS, installing Windows 10 from a USB drive, and completing the post-installation configuration.
