Getting started
Before you switch on for the first time, ensure that:
1. Your tablet is fully charged
2. You have a good WiFi connection (ideally your usual WiFi zone)
3. You have your WiFi name and password to hand.
Charging
Connect the supplied power cable to the power connector of the device and
to a wall outlet. The charging light will be red until it’s fully charged. You can
use the device whilst on charge.
Turning the device on
Press the ON/OFF button for 2-3 seconds.
Initial setup
The first time you start up your device, the Windows Startup Screen will be
the first screen displayed. Follow the on-screen instructions on each screen in
order to properly install the operating system. We strongly recommend that
you create a Microsoft account, so you can enjoy more features.
Microsoft account
A Microsoft account is an email address and password that you use to sign
in to Windows. It’s free and easy to set up, and you can do so with any email
address you choose, or get a new email address (for example, you can use an
Outlook.com, Gmail, or Yahoo! address for your Microsoft account.). WIth a
Microsoft account, you can:
- get apps from the Windows Store
- back up all your important data and files using free cloud storage
- link your social networking accounts to the People app, and you’ll see your
friends’ contact info and status updates in one place
Signing in with a Microsoft account
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings > Change PC settings
> Accounts > Your account > Connect to a Microsoft account. You might be
asked to verify your current password.
TIP: setting up other accounts
If more than one person uses your tablet, each person should have their own account. They can
sign in and personalize the tablet with their own background colors, favorite apps, a separate
email inbox, and more. If you have kids, you can also set up a child’s account with extra security
monitoring measures—with or without email—so that your kids see only what you want them to see
on the PC.
