If it’s a hotspot you use
regularly, you can tick
Connect Automatically

by pressing &123
If the Wi-Fi is ‘password protected’ type the password exactly as it
appears on your Wi-Fi router including any CAPITAL letters.

share your Wi-Fi, with your
contacts in a secure way.

MICROSOFT ACCOUNT
What is it? Have you ever used Outlook.com, Hotmail, Oce,
OneDrive, Skype, Xbox, or Windows? The email address and password you
use for any of those services is your Microsoft account. If not, it's easy to
create a free email account at Outlook.com and make that your new
Microsoft account.
Your Microsoft account gives you access to apps and games from the
Windows Store, and lets you see your settings and other stu across
multiple Windows 10 devices.
Set up family accounts If you plan to share your PC with other people,
consider adding accounts for them. It's always nice to share, and this way
your friends will have some personal space – including separate les,
browser favourites and a desktop they can call their own.
Add an account
Tap Start > Settings > Accounts > Your account > Family & other users.
Under Other users, select Add someone else to this PC.
If the person you're adding has a Microsoft account, enter their email
address, select Next, then select Finish. After they sign in, their online email,
photos, les and settings will be waiting for them.
If the person you're adding doesn't have a Microsoft account, select Sign
in without a Microsoft account (it's OK that it says "not recommended"),
then select Local account. Set their username, temporary password and
password hint, then select Next > Finish.
Change your account picture
Select Start, select your account picture, and then select Change
account settings.
On the Settings screen, under Your picture, select Browse.
Find the picture you want to use, select it, and then select Choose picture.
Windows remembers the last three pictures you’ve used, so you can easily
switch back to a recent favourite.
If you prefer to take a new account picture, select Camera and release your
inner artist!

You can find tons of Apps,
Games, Music, Movies & TV in
the Windows Store.
There's loads for free, and there's
something for everything, and
something for everyone.
Tap Start > Store.
1. Use the Search box to find the app you want, or browse the Charts
2. Tap your chosen app to open the details about it
3. If it is a free app, click Install
If it is a paid app, click Buy to purchase the app before installing it
Note: You must be signed in with your Microsoft account to install apps
from the Windows Store.

web, chat with you and tell jokes. The more you use Cortana, the more
personalised your experience will be.

OFFICE
Designed for doing! Create documents,
spreadsheets and presentations on your
GoTab. Optimised for touch – no
keyboard or mouse required – the Office
Mobile apps are designed to work on a
tablet or phone rst and foremost.
Download Word Mobile, Excel Mobile or
PowerPoint Mobile from the Store, while
the OneNote, Mail and Calendar apps are
already installed on your GoTab.
Review and edit while you're on the go.
Get to your les from anywhere, thanks
to integration with OneDrive, SharePoint,
and Dropbox.
You can also buy the full desktop
versions of Oce, or use an Oce 365
subscription to access and edit your
documents in the cloud.
ONENOTE
OneNote is your digital notebook for
capturing and organising everything
across your devices. Jot down your ideas,
keep track of classroom and meeting
notes, clip from the web, or make a to-do
list, as well as draw and sketch your
ideas.
Your notes travel with you whether you're at home, in the oce, or on the go
Notes are automatically saved and synced in the cloud, so you always have
the latest on all your devices.
They will also look familiar on all your devices, so you can pick up where you
left o on your desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone.

Your GoTab has Mail and Calendar
apps already built in. Find the app
tile on the Start screen, or Start
Menu.
The rst time you open either of
the apps, you’ll see the Welcome
page. Follow the instructions to set
up your account. Otherwise, In the
Mail or Calendar app, select
Settings in the bottom left
hand corner.
Go to Accounts > Add account, select your account type, then follow the
instructions. Your mail and calendar will start syncing as soon as your account
is set up (requires Wi-Fi).
Once you've added one account, you can go back to Settings to add more.
No need to add the same account twice – when you add it to one app, the
other app automatically connects to the same account.
Switch back and forth between the two by selecting the Mail or Calendar
icons at the bottom left side of the window.
EMAIL & CALENDAR
Whether you're new to Xbox or a
hardcore gamer, the Xbox app is
the place to play games, meet up
with friends, make new ones and
rack up achievements.
Don't have an Xbox One? No
problem. You don't need one to
use the app or play games from
the Store. If you have an Xbox One, all your achievements, activity, game
history and friends come with you to your PC when you sign in with the same
Microsoft account you use to sign in to your Xbox.
Take a look! Go to Start > Xbox

GET ON THE CLOUD
What does Cloud mean? The cloud is just a metaphor for ‘Internet Services’.
Cloud computing means storing les or using programs over the Internet
on a remote server, instead of directly on the GoTab. It gives you much more
power so give it a go... it’s the future of computing!
OneDrive is online storage to easily access and share your les, documents,
photos, music, and more across all your favourite devices — including
Windows™, iOS™, and Android™ devices.
Using OneDrive with your Microsoft account, you get 15GB of FREE online
storage provided to you by Microsoft.
If you need more storage space (up to 1000GB) you can buy more in a jiy!
Access your OneDrive in various ways:
Via Start > OneDrive
Online anywhere using a Web browser at https://onedrive.com
Via File Explorer at C:\Users\MyUserName\OneDrive
To access local OneDrive folder tap the File Explorer icon
Then tap OneDrive on the left menu.
Syncing Onedrive
Files in your OneDrive folder are synced to the cloud, but you can still
work with les on your GoTab when you’re disconnected. They are
automatically synced to OneDrive when Internet connection is available.
By default, all les and folders are synced between OneDrive in the cloud
and the Onedrive folder on your GoTab. If you want to save your GoTab
storage, you can explicitly specify the les and folders to keep in sync.
Step 1. Right-click the OneDrive icon in the notication area.
Step 2. Select Settings > Choose folders.
Step 3. Tick the les and folders you want to keep in sync.
Turn o syncing You can turn o syncing for all devices or individual
settings on the computer you use.
Step 1. Click Start > All apps > Settings > Accounts > Sync your settings.
Step 2. Click the toggle button for Sync settings to turn o all syncing; or
click the buttons under Individual sync settings to turn o syncing for
individual settings.

Your GoTab comes with 32GB internal storage* which is expandable by
using a MicroSD Memory Card* (max size 128GB).
NOTE: Some of this storage space (around 10GB) is always used to store the
Windows OS so you won’t get the total amount to save les/apps etc.
To add your Micro SD Card
Carefully insert it into the Micro SD card slot. You’ll feel a light ‘click’ which
means the card is locked in place.
To remove your MIcro SD Card
Simply push the card slightly inwards until you feel a light ‘click’. Then
release the card, allowing it to ‘pop out’so it can be removed.
STORAGE & SD
Using an HDMI cable (not included) you can output HD video, apps or
duplicate your GoTab’s screen on to an external TV or monitor.
Simply plug in the HDMI cable into your GoTab & your TV, then change the
TV’s ‘source’ or ‘input’ settings to the corresponding HDMI port to duplicate
the GoTab’s screen & audio onto your TV.
If you have a wireless receiver you can also ‘cast’ (output video wirelessly) to
your TV. Please refer to the instructions that came with your wireless receiver.
HDMI VIDEO OUT
GET AN ANTIVIRUS APP
Your GoTab is a computer, and like any PC or Laptop, you should consider
using Anti-Virus / Anti-Malware / Firewall software to protect yourself
when surng online or using apps.
Your GoTab isn’t pre-loaded with an Anti-Virus app to allow you to choose
a level of security relevant to your individual requirements.
There are many free Anti-Virus apps available on the Microsoft Store, or
you can consider using a premium app or service.
