Connecting

It’s important to connect your computer to power (power cable or docking station) and to the internet to avoid losing power or internet connection during configuration.

Authentication

Throughout the process, you will be asked several times to identify yourself via the Microsoft Authenticator app. Be sure to have your cellphone near at hand.

  • When you see this symbol appear during configuration, this means that you are required to identify yourself with your cellphone.

Please note

During this process, your workstation will restart on its own. Once the station is set up, your computer will prompt you to restart. Additionally, configuration steps may differ slightly from those described in this guide. If this is the case, please follow the steps as they appear on your screen. Messages will appear to guide you.

  1. Choose your language
