Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the SOYO Y5Pro is straightforward. Simply connect your display to one of the HDMI ports, attach a keyboard and mouse via the USB ports, and connect the power adapter. Upon the first boot, follow the Windows installation prompts to configure your network and user profile.

To ensure the longevity of your device, avoid placing the unit in enclosed cabinets where airflow might be restricted, as mini PCs rely on steady air circulation for cooling. If you notice dust buildup around the air vents, use a can of compressed air to gently clean them monthly. The device is compatible with most standard USB-A and USB-C peripherals, including hubs, external hard drives, and printers.
