Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your device, follow the on-screen prompts after initial power-on to complete the Windows 11 Pro installation. Ensure the system is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network to download the latest security patches and drivers. For maintenance, keep the device in a cool, dry environment between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius. When cleaning the screen, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the anti-glare coating.

Always ensure the device has adequate ventilation on the sides and bottom during use to prevent overheating.
