Product capacity representation
Storage capacity representation
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer 
is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage 
device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the 
capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than 
the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation. 
For example, for an 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity 
as 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x 1,024x1,024)byte = 
74.505GB.
In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even 
smaller because some programs such as Recovery may reside in a 
hidden area of the HDD.
Memory capacity representation
The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual 
capacity of memory. This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses 
a portion of memory or claims it for further use. For example, 
for 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the 
capacity as 1,022MB or less.
Caution for the data
Samsung Electronics shall not be liable for any data loss. Please 
take care to avoid losing any important data and back up your 
data to prevent any such data loss.
Operating system and software 
support
If you change the product’s factory OS (Operating System) to 
another OS or if you install software which is not supported by the 
product’s original factory OS, you will not receive any technical 
support, product exchange or refund, and a fee will be charged 
when requesting a service.
Please use your computer with the original factory OS. If you 
install an OS other than the factory OS, data may be deleted or the 
computer may not start.
Recommended screen resolutions
The recommended screen resolution for Windows is “FHD”   
(1,920x1,080) and for Windows 8.1 is “QHD+” (3,200x1,800).
If you set the resolution higher than the recommended value, it 
may result in problems with some applications, due to limitations 
of the operating system.
