Aurora ACT1250, no guides included?
Hello, and thanks for stopping by.
Preamble:
3 hours ago I unboxed my new Alienware Aurora ACT1250.
- The packing slip shows:
340-DNBV Documentation
There was no "Documentation" such as Quick Setup/Start and email only received 2 unrelated emails from Dell.
Trying to find some semblance of docs on-line was futile. Is there something I am kissing other than the docs? :) - I intend to de-google, but first, stop having to set up account with Microsoft, and De-Microsoft it as well. Then I want to add Debian as dual boot option.
ISSUE:
I was hoping there would be some sort of Guide to first time use or steps to take to avoid setting up MS account. Is there some place I missed where I can get a 'guide'?
Thank you for your time,
~r

@ejn63
I should have done more searching. It's been one of those days :)

It also didn't include any way to redeem the 3 months of Xbox game pass even though it was on my order.

@digitalworlds The online technical manuals would not discuss Xbox game pass. Start a new Post on the Customer Care board.

@digitalworlds I didn't see that. Battlefield was supposed be included on mine, but after jumping through a lot of hoops and hurdles, made it to the download link, and was met with 'Error 403 - access forbidden'
C'est la vie - it is what it is.
