Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your device, follow the on-screen prompts during the initial Windows boot sequence. Ensure you connect to a Wi-Fi 7 router to take full advantage of the high-speed networking. If you find the restrictions of 'S mode' limiting for your workflow, you can permanently switch to full Windows 11 via the Microsoft Store. For care, keep the laptop on a flat, hard surface to ensure optimal airflow through the vents. Clean the screen only with a dry microfiber cloth, and avoid using harsh liquid cleaners. Since the device supports USB-C Power Delivery, ensure your secondary chargers are rated for at least 45W to 65W for reliable charging.
