Turn on NFC

  1. Open the Start menu and click Settings > Network & Internet > Airplane mode.

  2. Turn off the Airplane mode.

  3. Turn on the NFC function.

Pair with an NFC card or NFC-enabled smartphone

Before you start, ensure that:

  • The card is in NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF), otherwise the card cannot be detected.

  • The smartphone screen is facing upward.

To pair with an NFC card or smartphone:

  1. Place the card or smartphone closely near the NFC mark or label area on your computer.

  2. Slowly move the card or smartphone around the NFC mark or label until you are prompted that the device has been successfully detected.
    Attention: During the data transfer, do not put your computer to sleep mode or lock the smartphone; otherwise, your data might get damaged.
