Chapter 1. "Unpack" Windows (OOBE) What is OOBE If your Lenovo computer is preinstalled with any version of a Windows operating system, you'll need to "unpack" Windows the first time you start your computer. It is similar to unpacking the package of a hardware product. This process is also referred to as OOBE, or out-of-box experience. What actions to be performed during OOBE The following table lists the most important actions you will perform during OOBE and shows whether they are required or optional. Action Accept Microsoft and Lenovo license agreements Log in with a local or Microsoft account Sign up for a Microsoft account Connect to the Internet Choose time zone Required? Yes Yes Optional Optional if you decide to log in with a local account Optional. You may change the setting any time later. You are the administrator Local or Microsoft account, the user account you use for login during OOBE will become the Administrator of the operating system. As the Administrator, you can change security settings, install apps, create other accounts, and make changes that may affect others. For security concerns, we recommend that you create and use a Standard User account after OOBE. Refer to "Add other user accounts" on page 4 for instruction on adding a user account.
