Lenovo Welcome
The Lenovo Welcome program introduces you to some innovative built-in features of Lenovo and guides you
through a few important setup tasks to help you make the most of your computer.
Fingerprint Software
The integrated ngerprint reader provided on some keyboards enables you to enroll your ngerprint and
associate it with your power-on password, hard disk drive password, and Windows password. As a result,
ngerprint authentication can replace passwords and enable simple and secure user access. A ngerprint
reader keyboard is available with select computers or can be purchased for computers that support this
option.
Product Recovery
The Product Recovery program enables you to restore the contents of the hard disk drive to the factory
default settings.
SimpleTap
The SimpleTap program provides you with a quick way to customize some basic computer settings such as
muting the speakers, adjusting the volume, locking the computer operating system, launching a program,
opening a Web page, opening a le, and so on. You also can use the SimpleTap program to access the
Lenovo App Shop, from which you can download various applications and computer software.
