Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Connections: Connect your monitor directly to the NVIDIA graphics card (DisplayPort or HDMI ports located on the back) rather than the motherboard ports to ensure peak performance.
- Updates: Upon first boot, allow Windows 11 to complete updates and run the Alienware Command Center to calibrate AlienFX lighting and fan profiles.
