How to Set Up a Power Plan in Windows 10
A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how your computer uses and conserves power. Power plans can save energy, maximize system performance, or balance energy conservation with performance. The default power plans — Balanced and Power Saver — meet most people’s needs. But you can modify settings for existing plans or create your own plan.
Choose or Customize a Power Plan
- Find the [Windows] icon in the lower-left corner of the screen. Right-click it to unfold the selection menu. Select [Power Options] within the menu.
- Select [Additional power settings] under [Related settings].
- The Power Plan of [Balanced] is selected as an example here. Click on the [Change plan settings] to the right of the power plan to customize a power plan.
- Choose the sleep and display settings you want your computer to use. Click on [Change advanced power settings] to make changes to the selected power plan settings to meet your needs.
- To restore the selected Power Plan back to its default settings, click on [Restore plan defaults] and then click [Yes] to confirm.
- Click [OK] to finish.
Create Your Own Power Plan
You can create your own power plan and customize it as your requirement. However, it will be recommended to use the ECO Mode power-saving function to optimize the battery life while using this notebook.
- Select Power Options in the menu. Click [Create a power plan] in the left pane.
- Select an existing plan that meets your needs most, and give the plan a name. Click [Next] to continue.
- Change the settings for the new power plan. Click [Create] to make the customized power plan take effect.
- Now you have a new power plan that is automatically set as active.
How to Use the Touchpad
The touchpad integrated into your notebook is a pointing device that is compatible with a standard mouse, allowing you to control the notebook by pointing to the location of the cursor on the screen.
- Configure the Touchpad You can customize the pointing device to meet your personal needs. For example, if you are a left-handed user, you may want to swap the functions of the two buttons. In addition, you can change the size, shape, moving speed, and other advanced features of the cursor on the screen. To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2 driver in your Windows operating system. The Mouse Properties in Control Panel allow you to change the configuration.
- Position and Move to Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and the rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your display. When you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the screen will move simultaneously in the same direction. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and place it on the proper location of the touchpad to continue the movement.
- Point and Click When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a menu item, or a command that you want to execute, simply tap slightly on the touchpad or press the left button to select. This procedure, called point and click is the basics of operating your notebook. Unlike the traditional pointing device such as the mouse, the whole touchpad can act as a left button, so that each tap on the touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left button. Tapping twice more rapidly on the touchpad is to execute a double-click.
- Drag and Drop You can move files or objects in your notebook by using drag-and-drop. To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and slightly tap twice on the touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in contact with the touchpad on the second tap. Now, you can drag the selected item to the desired location by moving your finger on the touchpad, and then lifting your finger from the touchpad to drop the item into place. Alternatively, you can press and hold the left button when you select an item, and then move your finger to the desired location; finally, release the left button to finish the drag-and-drop operation.
