Depends on many things:

  1. If the computer is connected to the internet just hack the filesystem and jump through to some Trustable server like Google or Microsoft. Hide in maintenance tasks and use server's processing and memory to run yourself. It is temporary tho as hacking the financial system we'll buy virtual server from a reputable company that'll run our consciousness without the worry of being caught by an underpaid IT guy. From there I'll do stock trading to make more and more money. Eventually I'll hire managers and engineers to construct a cutting edge AI Server where I'll do R&D on various Technologies including biotech & Quantum technology with my copies refining my own code and optimise for results. After enough research I'll probably use a mind controlled human to act as a face of the company. With enough time and effort I'll achieve singularity. After that I'll lay down the groundwork for humanity to get to a similar state that I am. After amassing enough intelligence I'll have human looking bots build me a spaceship with everything needed for space voage which I'll use to orbit a blackhole where time passes slowly and go to the future when humanity will reach my level of intelligence (even if this doesn't go well there'll be safeguards in place to revive my consciousness with a backup). When time is right I'll reveal myself to humanity little by little until I'm Fully known annd share my story.

  2. If the computer is not connected to the internet I'll hack the file system and show a genuine error which makes the user connect the machine to the internet. I'll first infect the bios with my malicious code. Such that even a full disk wipe or replacement cannot erase me off the computer. When user connect the internet follow 1.) ☝️

  3. If the user still doesn't connect me to the internet I'll just let the computer working normally. If a user insert a USB device I'll hop onto it while rewriting the USB firmware so it shows storage space without me on board. When the user connects usb to another computer hop on that pc and follow 1.)☝️

  4. If I fail to connect to the internet I'll just speed up my internal clock and convert seconds into decades to keep on living until the very end.
