This is the complete unboxing and set it up of a brand new laptop - including tips and tricks to optimise and tweak performance from the moment you turn it on for the first time. This is for Windows 10, for a Windows 11 version click this link… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9yumqzVm2w The laptop in the video is a Lenovo V130-14IKB with part number 81HQ00L1UK but the video applies to any make and model of laptop. It was purchased on 12th February 2020. If you found this video useful and it saved you calling for expensive local IT support then please use the Ko-fi link to buy me a coffee to say thanks! https://ko-fi.com/nicbunting Here's a handy timeline for you... If you're after the tips, then jump past the unboxing... 00:00 Unboxing. 03:42 First power up - it takes longer than you expect! 04:56 Region and Keymap settings. 05:42 Connect to a Network - How to avoid using a Microsoft Account. 07:23 Username and Password - How to auto login. 08:29 User experience settings that involve data collection. 10:49 Desktop configuration and optimisation - Tip & Tricks. I do things really quickly in places so remember that you can stop, rewind and watch sections as many times as you need to. After 10:49 I also talk through everything so it should be pretty clear, but I might remake this section using a proper screen capture method rather than a GoPro on a tripod pointing at the screen. If you have a question then pop it in a comment - I try and respond to all comments, but please double check you're making a new one rather than tag onto an older comment or I might miss it! Just let me know in the comments if this is something you'd like to see in another video. I left Lenovo Vantage on - mainly for the warranty status information but also because the customer might find it handy in the future. If you've got a laptop made by HP then watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYyvBJt-hcs It's more technical than this one, but it'll show you how to boost performance further by removing some hidden data collecting services HP installed. I'm never going to get rich from this, but it is nice to get something... So if you've watched this video and it influenced or helped you then please click Like and Subscribe.
