How to setup a new Windows computer ("Autopilot Reset")

All Windows computers just need to be logged into with your email address and Microsoft password. Most computer setup will be done automatically.

Important note: You must be connected to the Internet for the computer to allow you to login to your account.

Instructions - Concise text version:

• Turn on your computer and enter your preferred language and keyboard settings.
• Login with your Microsoft username and password. You should have received this already. If not, do not proceed until you have this information.
• Continue with Windows setup by setting up your Windows Hello and PIN.

Instructions - Detailed version with screenshots:

• Boot the computer
• Select the region, language, and keyboard you wish to use. You can skip the second keyboard layout.
• If you are in the office, connect to the "EFC Personal" Wifi connection with the password "UseRubex1!". If you are at home, connect to your preferred Wifi connection.

• After you connect to Wifi you may be taken to an Internet agreement. Click on the "Continue to the Internet" button.

• Agree to the Windows License agreement

• Sign in with your email address and Microsoft password. If this is the first time using your password, it will have you create a new password. Make sure you set a password with 10 characters, an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and at least one number or symbol.

• When it asks you to choose your privacy settings you can customize the settings or keep the defaults.

• Setup your fingerprint if it gives you the option and create your Windows Hello PIN.
• After you have setup and verified your credentials, Windows will setup your user and show you a screen as shown below.
• Your computer will start installing software in the background such as Chrome, Slack, Zoom, and Company Portal. This process usually takes 5-10 minutes.
• Once Chrome is installed you can login to Chrome using your email address and Google password (generally the same as your Microsoft password unless you set something different).
• Once Company Portal is installed you can login and install additional software if needed.
