A slow or crashing system may be due to outdated software or full hard drives. Update regularly and use tools such as the MEDION Service App to detect errors.
Use the MSInfo32 program, which is started by entering ‘msinfo32’ in the Run dialogue (Windows key + r). There you will find the mainboard designation under ‘System overview’ behind ‘BaseBoard product’.
Open the Start menu and click on ‘Restart’ while holding down the ‘Shift’ key. Then select ‘Troubleshooting’, ‘Advanced options’ and then ‘UEFI firmware settings’ to go directly to the BIOS.
Either look in the system settings under ‘Info’ or open the command prompt and enter the command ‘systeminfo’. Both methods will show you the original installation date.
This may be caused by a swollen battery, which poses a fire risk. MEDION advises you not to use or charge the device and to prepare it safely for disposal.
If two-step verification is enabled and no alternative verification method is available, Microsoft cannot help. Without this verification, you should try the sign-in utility or fill out the Microsoft account recovery form to get feedback.
Check the Device Manager (Windows key + X) under ‘Security devices’ for the TPM version. If no TPM is displayed, it may need to be activated in the BIOS.
To find the BitLocker key, log in to your Microsoft account and manage the keys for the corresponding device. On modern notebooks, the key is automatically saved in the Microsoft account.
Check blocked ventilation slots and clean them regularly. If the notebook still gets warm, close unnecessary programmes and manage autostart programmes via the task manager to reduce the system load.
XMP memory can be operated without an XMP profile, but then uses standard JEDEC settings with potentially lower performance. To be able to use the memory with XMP profile, both the mainboard and CPU must be XMP-capable.
To adjust the brightness, search for the corresponding settings on the device or in the software. This may vary depending on the type of device (monitor, PC, smartphone, TV).
Windows 11 requires at least a 1 GHz processor with 2 cores, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage space, TPM 2.0 and DirectX 12-capable graphics. Internet and a Microsoft account are required to install Windows 11 Home.
