Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Helios Neo 18 begins with ensuring the device is connected to a stable power source for the initial configuration of Windows 11 Home. Use the pre-installed PredatorSense software to configure your fan profiles and lighting preferences immediately. For compatibility, the integrated Thunderbolt 4 port allows you to connect a wide variety of high-speed peripherals, monitors, and external drives. To maintain the device, keep the intake and exhaust vents free of obstructions to ensure the cooling system operates efficiently. Periodically clean the screen using a dry microfiber cloth, and avoid using harsh liquid cleaners that could damage the anti-glare finish of the display.
