HP engineers rigorously test and debug software developed by HP
and third-party suppliers, and develop operating system specific
support software, to ensure performance, compatibility, and
reliability for HP computers.
When making the transition to new or revised operating systems,
it is important to implement the support software designed for that
operating system. If you plan to run a version of Microsoft Windows
that is different from the version included with the computer, you
must install corresponding device drivers and utilities to ensure that
all features are supported and functioning properly.
HP has made the task of locating, accessing, evaluating, and installing
the latest support software easier. You can download the software
from

.
The Web site contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable
ROM images needed to run the latest Microsoft Windows operating
system on the HP computer.
