Synchronizing Your Tablet

Using a Microsoft account

If your computer has Microsoft Windows 8 or 8.1 installed, you can
synchronize user settings of your tablet with your computer using
a Microsoft account. When you sign in with your Microsoft account
on your tablet, your settings including internet browser history, app
settings, and personal files are synchronized with other Windows 8
or 8.1 tablets and computers on which you use the same Microsoft
account.

1 On the tablet, access the charms and click Settings

Change PC Settings

→ Accounts→ Your account→ Connect to

a Microsoft Account to switch your computer local account to
your Microsoft account.

2 Click Settings

→ Change PC Settings→ OneDrive→ Sync

settings to see the options for synchronizing your data and
settings.

Copy music, photos, and videos

1 Connect your tablet to a USB storage device with a micro‑USB to

standard USB conversion cable, then transfer files to or from the
USB storage device.

2 After transferring files, use the Safely Remove Hardware and

Eject Media wizard to remove the USB storage device.

NOTE: The micro‑USB to standard USB conversion cable is sold
separately and is not shipped with the tablet.

NOTE: Files can also be shared with another device via Bluetooth.
Before transferring files, make sure that Bluetooth is enabled
on both the tablet and the paired device, and that the tablet is
compatible with the Bluetooth‑enabled device. For information
on pairing with Bluetooth devices, see “Bluetooth Setting”. For
file transfer details and Bluetooth compatibility, please refer to
the software documentation on both devices.
