can swipe or tap your finger on the fingerprint reader to sign in to Windows.
Enroll your fingerprints
Open the Start menu and then click Settings ➙ Accounts ➙ Sign-in options. Then, follow the on-screen
instructions to finish the enrollment.
During the enrollment, the fingerprints are associated with the Windows password automatically. It is
recommended that you enroll more than one fingerprint in case of any injuries to your fingers.
Maintain the fingerprint reader
To ensure that the fingerprint reader works correctly, do not:
• Scratch the surface of the reader with anything hard.
• Use or touch the reader with a wet, dirty, wrinkled, or injured finger.
Use firewalls and antivirus programs
Your computer might be preinstalled with a firewall program. The firewall protects against computer Internet
security threats, unauthorized access, intrusions, and Internet attacks. It also protects your privacy.
A full version of antivirus program is provided with a free 30-day subscription. After 30 days, you must renew
the license to continue receiving the antivirus program updates.
For more information, see the help system of the program.
