Everything you need to know about Windows Hello

You can choose the sort of Windows Hello login that you want on your device if you are a Windows 10/11 user by going to the Sign In options under the Account settings menu. The alternatives you will be presented with are entirely dependant on the gear you have at your disposal. Consider the following scenario: If your PC does not have a fingerprint sensor, the fingerprint unlock option will be conspicuously absent from your configuration options.

One feature we particularly like is the fact that you can perform new scans and re-scan your fingers over time, or even add fingerprints, to keep things interesting. This provides you entire control over the security of your Windows device, which, to be honest, isn’t a bad thing at all in this situation.

Windows Hello requires only a few minimal system requirements to function, but it does have certain particular hardware needs. Windows Hello is compatible with Microsoft’s Surface Pro and Surface Book, as well as the vast majority of Windows 10 PCs that are equipped with fingerprint scanners or cameras that can capture two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. The HP Spectre X360 13, the ASUS Transformer Mini T102HA, and the Dell XPS 13 9360 are just a few examples of other manufacturers’ devices that are compatible with the software.
