Initial Setup: Upon first boot, follow the on-screen prompts to complete the Windows 11 Pro setup. This includes connecting to a network, signing into your Microsoft account (or creating one), and configuring privacy settings.
Compatibility: This laptop is designed to be compatible with most standard peripherals. It features USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port (which supports Thunderbolt 4), an HDMI 2.1 port, and an Ethernet (RJ-45) port. Ensure your accessories use compatible connectors or adapters.

Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the keyboard, a can of compressed air can help remove dust and debris.

- Battery Care: To maximize battery lifespan, avoid constant deep discharges or keeping the battery at 100% charge for extremely long durations when plugged in. Lenovo's Vantage software may offer battery health management options.
