Activating and Customizing the Software

NOTE:

This chapter provides information for both Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Activating and customizing the software in Windows 7

If your computer was not shipped with a Windows® operating system, some portions of this documentation

do not apply. Additional information is available in online help after you activate the operating system.

CAUTION:

Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to the computer until the operating system

is successfully activated. Doing so may cause errors and prevent the operating system from installing

properly.

NOTE:

Be sure there is a 10.2 cm (4 inch) clearance at the back of the unit and above the monitor to permit

the required airflow.

Activating the Windows operating system

The first time you turn on the computer, the operating system is set up and activated automatically. This

process takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully read and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the

activation.

We recommend that you register your computer with HP during operating system setup so you can receive

important software updates, facilitate support questions, and sign up for special offers.

CAUTION:

After the activation process has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS

COMPLETE. Turning off the computer during the activation process may damage the software that runs the

computer or prevent its proper installation.

NOTE:

If the computer shipped with more than one operating system language on the hard drive, the

activation process could take up to 60 minutes.

Downloading Windows 7 updates

Microsoft may release updates to the operating system. To help keep the computer running optimally, HP

recommends checking for the latest updates during the initial installation and periodically throughout the life

of the computer.

1.

To set up your Internet connection, click 

Start

Internet Explorer

 and follow the instructions on the

screen.

2.

After an Internet connection has been established, click the
