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 ➙

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.

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.

Safety notices

This information can help you safely use your computer. Follow and retain all information included with your

computer. The information in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase agreement or the

Limited Warranty. For more information, see "Warranty Information" in the Safety and Warranty Guide that

comes with your computer.

Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and effective. However, personal

computers are electronic devices. Power cords, power adapters, and other features can create potential

safety risks that can result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these risks,

follow the instructions included with your product, observe all warnings on the product and in the operating

instructions, and review the information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the

information contained in this document and provided with your product, you can help protect yourself from

hazards and create a safer computer work environment.

Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In addition, some products

(such as speakers and monitors) ship with external power adapters. If you have such a product, this

information applies to your product. In addition, computer products contain a coin-sized internal battery that

provides power to the system clock even when the computer is unplugged, so the battery safety information

applies to all computer products.

Important information about using your computer

Ensure that you follow the important tips given here to get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer.

Failure to do so might lead to discomfort or injury, or cause the computer to fail.

Protect yourself from the heat that your computer generates.

When your computer is turned on or the battery is charging, the base, the palm

rest, and some other parts may become hot. The temperature they reach

depends on the amount of system activity and the level of charge in the

battery.

Applying strong force to cables may damage or break them.

Route communication lines, or the cables of an ac power adapter, a mouse, a

keyboard, a printer, or any other electronic device, so that they cannot be

walked on, tripped over, pinched by your computer or other objects, or in any

way subject to treatment that could interfere with the operation of your

computer.

Protect your computer and data when moving it.

Before moving a computer equipped with a hard disk drive, do one of the

following:

• Turn it off.

• Put it in sleep mode.

• Put it in hibernation mode.

This helps to prevent damage to the computer, and possible loss of data.

30 User Guide

Conditions that require immediate action

Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product damage is serious enough

that the product should not be used again until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an

authorized servicer.

As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is turned on.

On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks vent from your

product. Or you might hear sounds like popping, cracking, or hissing. These might merely mean that

an internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner. Or, they might indicate a

potential safety issue. Do not take risks or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the

Customer Support Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support phone numbers, see

the following Web site:

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/supportphonelist

Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage or wear or signs of danger. If you

have any question about the condition of a component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer

Support Center or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product and have it

repaired, if necessary.

In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if you have any safety concerns

with your product, stop using the product and unplug it from the power source and

telecommunication lines until you can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.

Appendix A. Important safety information 31

• Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or power supplies that are

cracked, broken, or damaged.

• Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.

• Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a battery, or a buildup of foreign

substances on the battery.

• A cracking, hissing, or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the product.

• Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer product, the power cord, or

power adapter.

• The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to water.

• The product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions.

Note: If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension cord) that is not manufactured for

or by Lenovo, stop using that product until you can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions,

or until you get a suitable replacement.

Service and upgrades

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center or

your documentation. Only use a Service Provider who is approved to repair your particular product.

Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Upgrades typically are referred

to as options. Replacement parts approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer

Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for

customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing or

replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a

product are zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power cord, always ensure

that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. If you have any

questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the

following warnings are required for your safety.

Keep fingers and other parts of your body away from hazardous, moving parts. If you suffer an injury, seek

medical care immediately.

Avoid contact with hot components inside the computer. During operation, some components become hot

enough to burn the skin. Before you open the computer cover, turn off the computer, disconnect power, and

wait approximately 10 minutes for the components to cool.

After replacing a CRU, reinstall all protective covers, including the computer cover, before connecting power

and operating the computer. This action is important to help prevent unexpected electrical shock and help

ensure the containment of an unexpected fire that could happen under extremely rare conditions.

32 User Guide

When replacing CRUs, be cautious of sharp edges or corners that might cause injury. If you suffer an injury,

seek medical care immediately.

Power cords and power adapters

DANGER

Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.

The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be H03VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm2, or

better. For other countries, the suitable types shall be used accordingly.

Never wrap a power cord around a power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in

ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack, or crimp. This can present a safety hazard.

Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.

Protect power cords and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your power cord

or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids

can cause a short circuit, particularly if the power cord or power adapter has been stressed by

misuse. Liquids also can cause gradual corrosion of power cord terminals and/or the connector

terminals on a power adapter, which can eventually result in overheating.

Ensure that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.

Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins or shows signs of

overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input pins or anywhere on the power adapter.

Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or

overheating or where the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way.

To prevent possible overheating, do not cover the power adapter with clothing or other objects

when the power adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet.

Extension cords and related devices

Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies, and power strips that you use

are rated to handle the electrical requirements of the product. Never overload these devices. If power strips

are used, the load should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more information

if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and input ratings.

amounts of electricity; otherwise, unstable voltage might damage your computer, data, or attached

devices.

Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only into a grounded

electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature by trying to insert it into a

non-grounded outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an

approved outlet adapter or to replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never

overload an electrical outlet. The overall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch

circuit rating. Consult an electrician for more information if you have questions about power loads

and branch circuit ratings.

Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to

the equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that will stress the cords.

Be sure that the power outlet provides the correct voltage and current for the product you are

installing.

The liquid crystal display (LCD) is made of glass, and rough handling or dropping the computer can

cause the LCD to break. If the LCD breaks and the internal fluid gets into your eyes or on your hands,

immediately wash the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes; if any symptoms are present

after washing, get medical care.

Note: For products with mercury-containing fluorescent lamps (for example, non-LED), the fluorescent lamp

in the liquid crystal display (LCD) contains mercury; dispose of according to local, state, or federal laws.

Using headphones or earphones

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the

equalizer to maximum increases the earphone and headphone output voltage and the sound pressure level.

Therefore, to protect your hearing, adjust the equalizer to an appropriate level.

Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time at high volume can be dangerous if the

output of the headphone or earphone connectors do not comply with specifications of EN 50332-2. The

headphone output connector of your computer complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specification

limits the computer’s maximum wide band true RMS output voltage to 150 mV. To help protect against

hearing loss, ensure that the headphones or earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7

limits) for a wide band characteristic voltage of 75 mV. Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-

2 can be dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.

If your Lenovo computer came with headphones or earphones in the package, as a set, the combination of

the headphones or earphones and the computer already complies with the specifications of EN 50332-1. If

different headphones or earphones are used, ensure that they comply with EN 50332-1 (Clause 6.5

Limitation Values). Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-1 can be dangerous due to

excessive sound pressure levels.

Choking hazard notice

CHOKING HAZARD – Product contains small parts.

Glass parts notice

CAUTION:

Some parts of your product may be made of glass. This glass could break if the product is dropped on

a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it.

Stop using your product until the glass is replaced by trained service personnel.

Static electricity prevention

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options.

Improper handling of static-sensitive parts can damage the part. When you unpack an option or CRU, do not

open the static-protective package containing the part until the instructions direct you to install it.

When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer, take the following precautions

to avoid static-electricity damage:

• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

• Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, and other circuit boards by the

edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.

• Prevent others from touching components.

• When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-protective package containing the part

to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two

seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.

• When possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-protective packaging and install the part

without setting it down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective packaging on a smooth, level

surface and place the part on it.

• Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Ergonomic information

Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort.

Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that

you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort when using

your computer.

Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent changes in your environment. Adapting to the

surrounding light sources, active seating, and the placement of your computer hardware, can help you

improve your performance and achieve greater comfort.

This example shows someone in a conventional setting. Even when not in such a setting, you can follow

many of these tips. Develop good habits, and they will serve you well.

General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused

by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent short breaks from your work also help to prevent

minor discomfort associated with your working posture.

Appendix B. Accessibility and ergonomic information 43

Display: Position the display to maintain a comfortable viewing distance of 510 mm to 760 mm (20 inches to

30 inches). Avoid glare or reflections on the display from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep

the display screen clean and set the brightness to levels that enable you to see the screen clearly. Press the

brightness control keys to adjust display brightness.

Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position.

Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height adjustment. Use chair adjustments to

best suit your comfort posture.

Arm and hand position: If available, use chair arm rests or an area on your working surface to provide

weight support for your arms. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal)

position. Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.

Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.

What if you are traveling?

It might not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are using your computer while on

the move or in a casual setting. Regardless of the setting, try to observe as many of the tips as possible.

Sitting properly and using adequate lighting, for example, helps you maintain desirable levels of comfort and

performance. If your work area is not in an office setting, ensure to take special note of employing active

sitting and taking work breaks. Many product solutions are available to help you modify and expand your

computer to best suit your needs. You can find some of these options at https://www.lenovo.com/accessories.

Explore your options for docking solutions and external products that provide the adjustability and features

that you want.
