Find if your computer / laptop / Windows Mobile Lumia support Windows Hello

If the device can recognize you, no need to get authenticated further, you are all in with Windows Hello.

In your computer,

Start | Settings
then go to,
Accounts | Sign-in Options

If it is supported you should find it there.

On a Dell Inspiron 7559 laptop it is not supported
as shown:



WindowsHello_1

The same instruction for Windows Mobile camera, Microsoft Lumia 950


WindowsHello_2

It is supported. Click Improve recognition and follow the instructions. Your iris will be scanned and saved. This is later compared with the iris the next time you switch on the phone. If it matches you are logged in automatically. If not, you will have to get in using PIN or password.

Does it work?

Yes and No. It has mechanical stability problems. If the camera is stationary and you approach with your eyes open to it, it may. In the hand held mode(vibration, shaking etc), it cannot. Very limited usefulness.
