enable Cortana, and choosing your privacy settings.
Entering (or creating) a Microsoft account allows your

an account is recommended, though you can use a
local account and password instead.
If Windows Hello is enabled on
your PC, you’ll have a chance to
set it up in the OOBE. Do so! It
takes literally just a few seconds
