Change one thing at a time.

Restart the relevant app first, then the device, then the router. Record the result after each step so support can see what changed.

Useful context for Windows.

Model-specific behaviour can vary, but the preparation and privacy principles remain consistent.

Use an updated Windows PC, a trusted application or browser route and a private home network for account setup. Follow the five-step checklist on this page and use only services you are authorised to access.

Include the exact Windows model, software version, current step, any non-sensitive error message and your order reference.

No. A full reset removes unrelated settings and should be a last resort. First check updates, network access, time settings and the specific application or browser route.

Only where your authorised service and access terms permit it. Sign out and remove saved details before selling, returning or sharing the device.
