    Look at the pic I supplied.
    You should have a leaflet or booklet that shows how to attach the stand

      Do you have enough room to set them up side by side? for now.
      It really is easy The plugs only go one way - no force.
      There is plenty of room for the speakers on the table. Im just worried if the power cord to the monitor is long enough to reach from the floor to the monitor and if the hdmi cable will reach from the comp to the monitor

        If you look at the power to the monitor you will see that it has a power brick.
        With the length of the cord on the power brick - unwind it and the length on the power cord- unwind it.
        It should be enough.
        Dangle the hdmi cable next to current monitor and comp does it reach?

          The cables look quite long

            It looks like it will. Is the power cable the one with the 3 prong thing and the hdmi cable the one with a square silver thing on each end?

                Something isnt making sense. In the back of the comp there is a place to screw in the monitor cable. Its similar to how mine is now. Neither end of the hdmi cable with the sqaure silver things on both ends will fit

                  There is another hole under the hole i think is for the hdmi cable. Maybe that is where it plugs into. I thought i could use the comp i have now as a guide. Thats not working out.

                        Ok, my mobility is very limited and i need friends or uber to take me places. I spent 2 hours at the doctor then went to best buy and i am done. I will look for a pic to post in a few minutes.

                          This is the exact one. The green is where the speaker will go then i assumed the blue connection right under it is where the hdmi cable would go, but i think it should go in the hole right under. The ethernet is the large black hole in the row of 3?https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/sy0AA...WB/s-l1600.jpg

                              Can the keyboard and mouse go in either black connection? Tomorrow im going to connect as much as i can on the new comp and monitor then wait till you or some other expert arrives. Thanks so much. One thing, can you tell me exactly what they will ask about the microsoft acct?

                                No I set one up tooooooooo long ago to remember.
                                It will be a basic sign in with a current email - from anyone. Or setup a new microsoft email
                                Mobile Phone number - for account recovery incase you lose your password.
                                However, we can set it to a local account once you have logged in for the first time.
                                A Microsoft account does not need a Microsoft email. The email address used to sign into your Microsoft account can be from Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Gmail, Yahoo, or other providers. From Here Click on me

                                Also the computer will come with 6mths anti virus protection from McAfee or Nortons
                                DO NOT set this up we will delete them.
                                Windows comes with its own protection which is now better than the bought ones.
