Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first power on your laptop, follow the on-screen Windows 11 setup wizard to connect to your network and sign in with a Microsoft account. Note that this device comes with Windows 11 in S mode; this means you can only install applications verified by the Microsoft Store for enhanced security. If you need to use specific desktop applications, you can switch out of S mode through the Windows settings. Keep the laptop in a clean, dry environment and use a microfiber cloth to gently clean the screen. Avoid placing heavy items on the lid, as this can damage the panel. For the best battery longevity, avoid keeping the device plugged in at 100% capacity for extended, unnecessary periods.
