This tutorial will show you how to change when to automatically put the computer to sleep when idle in Windows 11.
Sleep uses very little power, your PC starts up faster, and you’re instantly back to where you left off. You don’t have to worry that you'll lose your work because of your battery draining because Windows automatically saves all your work and turns off the PC if the battery is too low. Use Sleep when you’re going to be away from your PC for just a little while.
The sleep idle timeout specifies the duration of inactivity before the system automatically enters sleep.

This tutorial will show you how to find and view your product key in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
A Windows product key is a 25-character code used to activate Windows. It looks like this:

Without one of these, you won't be able to activate your device.
Where to find your product key depends on how you got your copy of Windows.
