Fingerprint scanner on Dell Vosotro i3 11th generation

Hi

I am thinking of  buying above laptop but I do not want the fingerprint scanner.  Is there any way to set laptop up just using a Pin, please?

Yes -- you simply set the system the way you want it.  You need not use the touch sensor even if it's present.

Thank you very much. Very clear now.  I think the PIN rather than Password is a great idea especially if your device does not leave the house,  as mine doesn't. . It is so quick & easy to remember.    The fingerprint option is good also, but I am elderly and it does not suit me.
