Windows Hello (select products only)
On products equipped with a ngerprint reader or an infrared camera, Windows Hello allows you to enroll

ID, or PIN to sign in to Windows.
To set up Windows Hello:
1. Select the Start button, select Settings, select Accounts, and then select Sign-in options.
2. To add a password, select Password, and then select Add.
3. Under Windows Hello Fingerprint or Windows Hello Face, select Set up.
4. Select Get Started, and then follow the on-screen instructions to enroll your ngerprint or facial ID and
set up a PIN.
IMPORTANT: To prevent ngerprint logon issues, be sure when you register your ngerprint that all
sides of your nger are registered by the ngerprint reader.
NOTE: The PIN is not limited in length. The default setting is for numbers only. To include alphabetic or
special characters, select the include letters and symbols check box.
Using antivirus software
When you use the computer to access email, a network, or the internet, you potentially expose it to computer
viruses. Computer viruses can disable the operating system, programs, or utilities, or cause them to function
abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage that they
cause. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up to
date.
Windows Defender is preinstalled on your computer. HP strongly recommends that you continue to use an
antivirus program to fully protect your computer.
For more information about computer viruses, access the HP Support Assistant.
Using rewall software
Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. A rewall can be a software
program you install on your computer, network, or both, or it can be a solution made up of both hardware and
software.
There are two types of rewalls to consider:
● Host-based rewalls—Software that protects only the computer it is installed on.
● Network-based rewalls—Installed between your DSL or cable modem and your home network to
protect all the computers on the network.
