The Setup Assistant

What you see depends on whether you installed Lion onto a Snow Leopard drive or an empty drive.

After Installing Over Snow Leopard

If you installed onto a Snow Leopard drive that already had stuff on it—accounts, files, settings, and so on—then after the Mac restarts, all you have to do is log in as usual. Enjoy the box that warns you about Lion’s upside-down scrolling habit (Full Screen Mode, Safari). Click Start Using Lion, and start using Lion.

Note

It’s possible, at this point, that Lion will display a message warning you that it found some incompatible software on your Mac during the installation. You’ll discover that this outdated software has been summarily tossed into a folder called Incompatible Software in your startup disk’s main window.
