  4. Locate the Windows Hello section and click Set up under Face Recognition. Then, click Get Started.

  5. Enter the PIN you have set earlier. The camera preview starts.

  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

  7. Click Improve Recognition to improve the image so that Windows Hello can recognize you in different light conditions or when your appearance changes.
