Windows 10: How to add UPS battery, to desktop computer?

Win10 Version 1909 (OS Build 18.363.592).
I have a Cyberpower CP850PFCLCD UPS, that I haven't plugged into USB yet-

I don't install the Cyberpower control software, as this has played Havoc... with my old Win7 system AV in the past (kept trying to activate Hibernation, that my Samsung SSD had me disable).

I'm not sure about the "exact" proper way to do this?-
Do I shutdown, remove Power, plug in USB, power up.

In my old Win7 Bios, I set battery backup, to always on-
Do I do this for Win10 also?

BTW- Please move this to the proper section.
