Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you run the Windows Update assistant to pull the latest drivers for the Intel AI Boost NPU and NVIDIA GPU. Use the pre-installed MSI Center software to customize your fan curves and performance profiles based on your current task—choose 'Silent' mode for light office work and 'Extreme Performance' for gaming.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the screen. Avoid harsh chemicals or water directly on the chassis.
- Airflow: Always place the laptop on a flat, hard surface. Avoid using it on blankets or soft fabrics which can block the bottom intake vents.
- Battery: Keep the laptop plugged in while performing intensive tasks to preserve cycle life. Utilize the battery calibration feature in the MSI software periodically.
- Security: Regularly update the BIOS through the MSI website to maintain compatibility with new hardware standards and security patches.
