Hi Paulette
When you are first setting up your echo, you must use a wifi connected
computer or phone. A hard wired computer will not work. Any windows
computer will work as long as it is using wifi!
When you start the setup process, you first start entering information
on the echo.amazon.com website. At some point, you will be instructed
to switch to the WIFI connection coming from your echo to enter the
login information that the echo needs.

When I go to the Alexa website, nothing happens. My husband tried using WE
and not having it turned on. He couldn't do it either. On the Amazon website
it says that my computer must be a wy fi computer. My computer is hard
wired. So, does that mean that it does not have to be wy fi?

I was able to successfully use the echo under both windows 7
and 10.

You may need to upgrade to IE11, if you're only using WE9.0, this mayalso
pose compatibility issues as well. The Echo is supposed to be downward
compatible to Windows Seven. Therefore, prior to upgrading to Windows
Ten,
be certain to review the system requirements and other specifications for
the Echo.

Hi all,
I know that there has been lots of talk about Windows 10 over the last
year
and that I absolutely have to make the change from Windows 7 before July
29th. But I didn't pay much attention to the conversation because I
wasn't
going to make the change for a long time and I was perfectly happy with
Windows 7. Now something has happened to give me the not so subtle nudge,
or
shove, to make the change, right now! We purchased an Echo, made by
Amazon.
In order to use it and customize it to the way I want it I have to
install
and use a free app that you download to your phone, in my case an iPhone,
and/or a computer. My husband put it on his Android phone and installed
it
on my iPhone. He also installed it on his computer and can use it with no
problems. I am having a great deal of trouble using it on my iPhone, it
is
using IOS 8.2, I believe, but I can get it to work, sort of. I still
don't
know how to move around the Skills section, for example by moving freely
to
the next selection or going to the next page. But the real kicker came
when
I discovered that I couldn't use the app on my computer at all, because
it
does not work in Windows 7! So now I must get Windows 10 this week end
because I want to use this app. The problem is that I am scared to death
to
use it and have no idea how to make it do anything. Could some kind
people
please tell me the best places to get reliable information about using
it,
as well as a few tried and true tips and tricks to keep me from going
stark
raving mad? Is Cortana worth using? What do I have to do to keep
Microsoft
from becoming Big Brother? I am using Internet Explorer 10 and Window
Eyes
9, I think. Thanks so much in advance for your help.
Paulette
