First Boot
The first boot (also known as the Out of Box Experience) provides initial configuration of the Thor VM2. When a Thor
VM2 is ordered with a Windows 7 Professional operating system, the product key is printed on a decal on the rear of
the Thor VM2. It may be necessary to remove the Thor VM2 from the dock to view the product key decal. Under nor-
mal circumstances, it is not necessary to re-enter the product key as it was entered during the manufacturing process.
If the Thor VM2 was ordered without an operating system, a product key must be provided by the customer to activate
Windows.
When a new Thor VM2 starts up a EULA (End User License Agreement) may be displayed on the touch screen. It
remains on the screen until the Accept or Decline button is tapped with a stylus.
Tap the Accept button to accept the EULA terms and the Thor VM2 continues the startup process. The EULA is not
presented to the user again.
