Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: When you first power on the device, follow the Windows 11 Pro on-screen prompts to configure your user account and security settings. Since this model includes a fingerprint reader, it is highly recommended to register your print during setup for faster, secure access.
Compatibility: The device features two Thunderbolt 4 ports, which support a wide range of docks, external monitors, and high-speed data storage. Use a 65W or higher USB-C charger if traveling light, though the included adapter is optimized for the best performance.
Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Use a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe the aluminium chassis and screen. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Airflow: Ensure the bottom intake vents are not obstructed to keep the cooling system operating at peak efficiency.
- Updates: Regularly check the Dell SupportAssist app to ensure your firmware, BIOS, and hardware drivers are up to date.
