How to Set Up a Power Plan in Windows OS
* For selected models with Windows 11 operating system installed.
A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how your
computer uses and conserves power. Power plans can save energy, maximize system
performance, or balance energy conservation with performance. The default power plans
— Balanced and Power saver — meet most people's needs. But you can modify settings
for existing plans or create your own plan.
