1.0 Introduction
This User Guide provides step-by-step installation instructions for these products:
•Intel® NUC 13 Pro Mini PC NUC13ANHi7
•Intel® NUC 13 Pro Mini PC NUC13ANHi5
•Intel® NUC 13 Pro Mini PC NUC13ANHi3
1.1 Before You Begin
CAUTIONS
The steps in this guide assume you’re familiar with computer terminology and
with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and
modifying computer equipment.
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any network before
performing any of the steps described in this guide.
Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, or networks before you open
the computer or perform any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment
damage. Some circuitry on the board can continue to operate even though the front
panel power button is off.
Follow these guidelines before you begin:
•Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.
•Create a log to record information about your computer, such as model,
serial numbers, installed options, and configuration information.
•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the
procedures described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation using an
antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad. If such a station isn’t
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist
strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.
1.2 Installation Precautions
When you install and test the Intel NUC, observe all warnings and cautions in the
installation instructions.
To avoid injury, be careful of:

User Guide –March 2023
•Sharp pins on connectors
•Sharp pins on circuit boards
•Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis
•Hot components (such as SSDs, processors, voltage regulators, and heat sinks)
•Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit
Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing
to qualified technical personnel.
1.3 Observe Safety and Regulatory Requirements
If you don’t follow these instructions, you increase your safety risk and the possibility
of noncompliance with regional laws and regulations.

10.0 Operating System Recovery
There’s a Windows recovery partition on the Intel NUC. You can use this partition to
Refresh, Reset, or Restore Windows. Here is what each of these actions do:
Refresh
If your PC isn't performing as well as it once did, and you don't
know why, you can refresh your PC. This action doesn’t delete any
of your personal files or change your settings. Refresh does the
following:
•Files and personalization settings won’t change.
•PC settings are changed back to their defaults.
•Apps from the Windows Store are kept.
•Apps installed from disks or websites are removed.
•List of removed apps is saved on the desktop.
Reset
If you want to recycle your PC, give it away, or start over with it, you
can reset it completely. This process removes everything. Reset
does the following:
•All personal files and apps are removed.
•PC settings are changed back to their defaults.
•Windows is reinstalled.
Restore
If a recently installed app or driver is causing problems with your
PC, you can restore Windows back to an earlier point in time,
called a restore point. System Restore doesn’t change your
personal files, but it can remove recently installed apps and
drivers.
Caution - Before performing a Refresh or Reset:
•Make sure to back up all personal data to external storage.
