5.All successful checks will have a green check mark or tick next to it. Any checks that failed will have a red circle with a line through it.  Selecting a check will display information to on the right side of the window, with advice on how to fix the problem where the check failed.

 

6.Once you have all green ticks, you are all done.  Click OK to save the settings.
