Where do I find 'Settings' on the ASUS Zenpad 10?

[AC Question]

We've just bought an ASUS Zenpad 10, and am trying to set it up, to avoid wherever possible, 'Big Brother' Google taking our information at every opportunity. I'm fed up of these multi-nationals snooping on everyone. We're not agreeing to them accessing anything! We're simply looking to get our Hotmail e-mails, do some browsing, Ebay, Skype, etc, and do nothing fancy. Don't need any Apps for this, that & the other.

I see that you have a page 'How to install apps outside of Google Play' I guess this must be a help? However, i'm falling at the 1st fence - How do I even get into Setting please? Many thanks.

You could download apk files that aren't on the Play Store. That way Google doesn't know what you are up to.
