8 Simple Tips for Setting Up a Windows Laptop for Beginners

A Windows PC that seems easy to use for you might be quite challenging for someone who is a beginner or isn’t tech-savvy. If you’re setting up a new device for a first-time user or passing along your laptop to them, it’s essential to make it user-friendly. Here are a few things you can do for them.

1Make the Login Process Easier

When setting up a Windows device for a non-tech-savvy user, the first step is to simplify the login process. Choose a password that is easy for them to remember, or set up a login PIN, which is often easier to recall and enter. If the device supports it, you can also enable Windows Hello for facial recognition or fingerprint login to streamline the process further.

If they are the sole user and won’t use the device in a shared environment, you can bypass the password screen entirely, allowing them to go directly to the desktop upon startup, though that does introduce security risks.
