might cause security risks.
• The process of installing a new operating system deletes all the data on your internal storage drive,
including the data stored in a hidden folder.

that you do not install the operating system into Optane memory.

Attention: After you change the startup sequence, ensure that you select the correct device during a
copy, a save, or a format operation. If you select the wrong device, the data on that device might be
erased or overwritten.
8. Select Restart and ensure that OS Optimized Defaults is enabled. Then, press F10 to save the settings
and exit.
