On products equipped with a ngerprint reader or an infrared camera, Windows Hello allows you to enroll

ID, or PIN to sign into Windows.
To use Windows Hello:
1. Select the Start button, select Settings, select Accounts, and then select Sign-in options.
2. To add a password, select Password, and then select Add.
3. Under Windows Hello Fingerprint or Windows Hello Face, select Set up.
4. Select Get Started, and then follow the on-screen instructions to enroll your ngerprint or facial ID and

IMPORTANT: To prevent ngerprint logon issues, make sure when you register your ngerprint that all
sides of your nger are registered by the ngerprint reader.
NOTE: The PIN is not limited in length. The default setting is for numbers only. To include alphabetic or
special characters, select the include letters and symbols check box.
Using Internet security software
When you use your computer to access email, a network, or the Internet, you potentially expose your
computer to computer viruses, spyware, and other online threats. To help protect your computer, Internet
security software that includes antivirus and rewall features may be preinstalled on your computer as a trial
oer. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses and other security risks, security
software must be kept up to date. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade the security software trial
oer or purchase the software of your choice in order to fully protect your computer.
Using antivirus software
Computer viruses can disable programs, utilities, or the operating system, or cause them to function
abnormally. Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and in most cases, repair any damage
they have caused.
