Create a User Account
Once your system is powered on, follow the on-screen prompts to create a user account in your operating system. You will have the option to:
- Create a new Microsoft account to sync settings and files across multiple devices.
- Use an existing Microsoft account if you already have one, allowing you to access your settings and files directly.
