10 User Guide
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.
© Copyright Lenovo 2020 11
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.
Set up face recognition
If your computer includes a Windows Hello-compatible infrared camera, you can set up face recognition to
sign in with your face.
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 set face recognition.
Step 2. Under Manage how you sign in to your device, select Windows Hello Face ➙ Set up ➙ Get
started.
Step 3. Follow on-screen instructions to complete face recognition. Create a PIN when prompted, in case
face recognition does not work at Windows sign-in.
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.

Lenovo Vantage or PC Manager may be pre-installed on your computer. To open it, enter the software name

Connect to networks
Your computer helps you connect to the world through a wired or wireless network.
Connect to wired networks
Your computer does not include an RJ-45 Ethernet connector. If you want to connect to networks using a
wired cable, you need to purchase and use one of the following adapters.
• USB Type-A to RJ-45
• USB-C to RJ-45
Step 1. Plug the USB connector of the adapter into the appropriate connector on your computer.
Step 2. Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector on the adapter.
Step 3. Plug the other end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the appropriate connector to connect to the
network.
Windows will automatically connect you to most networks once you have finished connecting the RJ-45
Ethernet cable. However, in some cases you may need to contact the network administrator to finish
connecting to a wired network. This is most likely to happen at offices and events, but may be required as
well for some home networks.
Connect to Wi-Fi networks
If your computer includes a wireless adapter, you can connect your computer to Wi-Fi networks.
Step 1. Click the network icon in the Windows notification area. A list of nearby networks is displayed.
Note: If no network is displayed, check to ensure that the airplane mode is not turned on.

User Guide
Step 2. Select a network and click Connect. Provide security key if prompted.

Windows saves a list of Wi-Fi networks you have connected to, along with their passwords and other
settings. By doing this, your computer is automatically connected when it is in the range of a previously
connected network. However, if the network password has been changed, you need to forget the network in
order to enter a new password.
Step 1. Select Start ➙ Settings ➙ Network & Internet ➙ Wi-Fi.
Step 2. Click Manage known networks.
Step 3. Click the network name and click Forget.
