This guide is aimed at new users of single-user configured UMD Windows devices. There are some simple steps to help you get set up as quickly as possible. During the initial setup you will connect the device to a wifi network and proceed through the Setup Assistant, configuring the device to your desired state.
Initial setup
-
Unpack your device and power on. The device will then start setting up.
-
If prompted to connect to a network select a University network, or if at home your home wifi.
-
When setup is complete login to your device with your @cam.ac.uk email address and University account password (formerly Raven).
If you are transferring to another division within professional services, you must change your password after logging in. This updates your account permissions. Before you do this, make sure you're connected to the network using a cable or docking station. Go to the password management app, and log in to change your password. Log out of your new UMD device and wait 30 minutes before logging back in with your new password.
