Windows Hello
Windows Hello allows you to enroll your facial ID and set up a PIN. After enrollment, you can use your facial ID
or PIN to sign in to Windows.
To set up 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 Face, select Set up.
4. Select Get Started, and then follow the on-screen instructions to enroll your facial ID and set up a PIN.
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 antivirus software
When you use the computer to access email, a network, or the internet, you potentially expose it to computer
viruses. Computer viruses can disable the operating system, programs, or utilities, or cause them to function
abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage that they
cause. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up to
date.
Windows Defender is preinstalled on your computer. HP strongly recommends that you continue to use an
antivirus program to fully protect your computer.
Using rewall software
Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. A rewall can be a software
program that you install on your computer, network, or both, or it can be a solution made up of both hardware
and software.
There are two types of rewalls to consider:
● Host-based rewalls—Software that protects only the computer it is installed on.
● Network-based rewalls—Installed between your DSL or cable modem and your home network to
protect all the computers on the network.
When a rewall is installed on a system, all data sent to and from the system is monitored and compared with
a set of user-dened security criteria. Any data that does not meet those criteria is blocked.
