Upon first boot, follow the on-screen prompts to complete the Windows 11 Home setup, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network and creating or signing into your Microsoft account. It is recommended to install Windows updates immediately for the latest security patches and driver improvements.
Software:
The laptop comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed. You may find pre-installed trial software, such as Microsoft Office. Explore Lenovo Vantage for system updates, performance tuning, and support.
Compatibility:
- Ports: Features USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with USB PD support, an HDMI 2.1 port, an Ethernet (RJ-45) port, and a combo headphone/mic jack.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior and screen. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or liquids directly on the device.
- Cooling: Ensure the laptop's vents are clear of obstructions to allow for proper airflow. Avoid placing the laptop on soft surfaces like beds or carpets for extended periods, which can block vents.
- Battery: To optimize battery health, avoid keeping the laptop plugged in at 100% charge for extremely long durations if not actively gaming. Use Rapid Charge Pro when needed for quick top-ups.
