Chapter 2. Get started with your computer

Get started with Windows 10

Learn the basics of Windows 10 and start working with it right away. For more information about Windows 10, see the Windows help information.

Windows account

You must create at least one account to use the Windows operating system. It can be either a local account or a Microsoft account.

Local accounts

A local account is created on a particular Windows-enabled device and it can only be used on that device. It is recommended that you set a password for each local account to prevent unauthorized access to the device.

Microsoft accounts

A Microsoft account is a user account that you use to sign in to Microsoft software and services. If you use Microsoft services like OneDrive, Outlook.com, Xbox Live, Office 365, and Skype, you might already have one. If you don't have it, you can create one for free.

There are two main benefits of using a Microsoft account:

•Sign in only once. If you use a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 10, you don’t need to sign in again to use OneDrive, Skype, Outlook.com, and other Microsoft services.

•Settings can be synced. If you use your Microsoft account to sign in to multiple Windows-enabled devices, certain Windows settings can be synced among the devices.

Switch between a local and a Microsoft account

If you are using a local account to sign in to Windows 10, you can switch to use a Microsoft account instead.

Step 1. Open the Start menu and select Settings Accounts

Step 2. Select Sign in with a Microsoft account instead

Step 3. If you already have a Microsoft account, enter the account name and password to sign in. Otherwise, select Create one to create a new Microsoft account.

Note: The device must have Internet access the first time you use a Microsoft account on that device.

If you want to switch back to use a local account, open the Start menu and select Settings Accounts Sign in with a local account instead .

Add additional user accounts

Your user account must be of the “Administrator” type to add additional user accounts to Windows. Add additional user accounts if you need to share your computer with family members or other users.

Step 1.	Open the Start menu and select Settings Accounts Family & other users
Step 2.	Select Add someone else to this PC	.

Lenovo Legion Slim 7i, Legion Slim 7 User Guide

Note: To add family members, you need to sign in with a Microsoft account.

Step 3. Set the user name and password for the user account.

Enroll your fingerprint

If your computer includes a fingerprint reader, you can enroll your fingerprint for Windows sign-in.

Step 1. Open the Start menu and select Settings Accounts Sign-in options

Note: If you are using a local account, the account must be password protected. Otherwise, you cannot enroll fingerprints.

Step 2. Select Windows Hello Fingerprint Set up Get started

Step 3. Follow on-screen instructions to complete the enrollment. Create a PIN when prompted, in case your fingerprint cannot be recognized at Windows sign-in.

Note: You can enroll more than one fingerprint.
