Hey folks! I’ve got a new Acer TravelMate and want to use the fingerprint reader to log in faster. I’ve looked in Settings but can’t figure out how to set it up with Windows Hello. Anyone know the quick steps? Thanks!

    What is your laptop full model, some don't come with fingerprint sensors.

    Once we know which model you have, we can step you through the process. Your full model number is usually on the same sticker as your serial number, it should look something like xxxxx-xxx-xxxx. If you don't have a fingerprint sensor or the sensor isn't recognized, then the option to set it up will not be available in Windows Hello settings.

    To set the fingerprint under Windows Hello in Windows 10
    Select Settings > Accounts. Click Sign-in options on the left. Scroll to Windows Hello and click Set Up in the Fingerprint section. Note: If you do not have a PIN, create one to set up the fingerprint reader.
