If you are a Windows 10 user, you can head to the Sign In options under the Account settings and choose the type of Windows Hello login that you want on your device. The options you will see, are completely dependent on the hardware you have available. For example, if your PC does not have the fingerprint sensor, the fingerprint unlock option will obviously be absent in your settings.
What we love is that over time, you can perform fresh scans and re-scan your fingers, or even add fingerprints, to keep things fresh. This gives you complete control over the security of your Windows device, and honestly, that is not at all a bad thing.
Windows Hello has relatively low specifications to work, but it does come with specific hardware requirements. Microsoft’s Surface Pro, Surface Book, and most Windows 10 PCs equipped with fingerprint scanners or cameras that can capture two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy are compatible with Windows Hello. Compatible devices from other manufacturers include HP’s Spectre X360 13, ASUS Transformer Mini T102HA, and Dell XPS 13 9360, to name a few.
