how to install MSI PRO DP21

Begin by unboxing the MSI PRO DP21 and placing it on a stable surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the area is clear of dust and away from sources of heat or moisture. Prepare the peripherals you’ll use—monitor, keyboard, mouse, and any network connections—and have them within easy reach. If you’re replacing an existing device, back up important data before connecting to the new system.

Connect your monitor to the DP21 using the appropriate display output (HDMI or DisplayPort, depending on your model configuration). Attach your keyboard and mouse via USB, and connect Ethernet for a wired network connection, or configure Wi‑Fi during Windows setup. Finally, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet and switch on the system.

When the system powers up, you’ll be guided through the Windows 11 Pro setup experience. Follow on-screen prompts to configure language, region, and keyboard layout, sign in with a Microsoft account or local account, and choose privacy and security settings that fit your organization’s policy. Activation of Windows 11 Pro will complete during setup or can be completed later if required by your license.

Once you’re logged in, Windows Update will check for drivers and security updates. It’s recommended to connect to the internet and allow updates to install to ensure you have the latest security patches and compatibility improvements. If your organization uses device management, enroll the DP21 in your management platform to enforce policies, deploy software, and monitor health. For business-specific peripherals or printers, install the latest drivers from the MSI or device manufacturer website as needed to ensure full compatibility. Regular maintenance, including keeping the BIOS and drivers up to date, helps preserve performance and security over time.
