Installation instructions
Note: After installing a Windows SSD, go to the Powering on Windows for the first time on page
Windows on page 7 procedures. These procedures do not apply when installing the SUPx-LNX options.
7 and Activating
Powering on Windows for the first time
The instrument goes through a series of configuration bootups that require manual intervention when first powering up a new (neverinstalled) Windows drive in an instrument. Once the drive is configured, the instrument boots into Windows and starts the oscilloscope
application from then on.
1. Power on the instrument. The oscilloscope powers up to initialize some settings, then shuts down.
2. Power on the instrument again. The instrument powers up into the application startup screen, then displays a message at the bottom of
the screen:
Updating System Files... This will take a few minutes.
The oscilloscope will shut down when the update is complete.
After a few minutes, the instrument powers down.
3. Power on the instrument again. The instrument boots up into Windows and starts the oscilloscope application.
The instrument attempts to activate the Windows license as part of the initial power-on process (See Activating Windows on page
7).
Activating Windows
The Windows operating system shipped from Tektronix is in a "deferred activation" state. The first time you power on an instrument with a
newly installed Windows drive, the operating system may attempt to activate itself, depending on whether the instrument is connected to a
network.
• The instrument is connected to a network with access to the Microsoft web site:
• The Windows activation occurs silently in the background, and does not display any messages. No other action is required.
• See Verifying Windows activation on page 8 to check the activation status of the instrument.
• The instrument is connected to a network without access to the Microsoft web site:
• The instrument may attempt to activate and fail. You may see a screen message saying that Windows is not activated and the
Windows user settings may be disabled.
• See Verifying Windows activation on page 8 to check the activation status of the instrument.
• You can activate Windows by either connecting the instrument to a network with access to Microsoft or by contacting Microsoft to
obtain activation instructions:
• Go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us and select Windows.
• Go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus/ and follow the instructions to select your preferred contact method.
Note: Please contact Microsoft to resolve Windows activation issues.
• The instrument is not connected to any network:
•
The instrument stays in the "deferred activation" state. No error message appears. Windows, and the oscilloscope application, can
operate indefinitely in the deferred activation state without error messages.
• See Verifying Windows activation on page 8 to check the activation status of the instrument.
• Once you connect the instrument to a network with access to Microsoft, Windows will activate automatically (no interaction
required).
• Moving an activated Windows SSD from one instrument to another:

Differences between Windows and base instrument user interfaces
The Windows-based oscilloscope application interface appearance and behavior is exactly the same as the base instruments, with some
exceptions:
• You can change the size of the Windows-based oscilloscope application, or minimize it, just like any other Windows application.
• The File Utilities choice in the File menu opens a standard Windows Explorer instance instead of the custom dialog found in the base
instrument.
• You can use the standard Windows network tools to mount and access network drives.
• You can use the standard Windows tools to create a login password to access the instrument, if required by your organization.
• You can use the Application menu to access installed applications.
