Preparing to Update Software
For optimal notebook performance and to make sure your
notebook remains compatible with changing technologies, it is
recommended that you install the latest versions of HP software
as they become available.
To update HP software:
1. Prepare for any update by identifying your notebook type,
series or family, and model. Refer to
“Accessing Notebook
Information”
for information on obtaining your notebook
type. Prepare for a system ROM update by identifying
(through the Computer Setup utility) the ROM versions
currently installed on the notebook.
2. Access the updates through your local HP Web site or the
Support Software
CD (purchased separately).
3. Download and install the updates.
✎
The notebook system ROM stores the BIOS. The BIOS
determines how the notebook hardware interacts with the
operating system and external devices and also supports
such notebook services as time and date.
✎
If your notebook connects to a network, it is recommended that
you consult with your network administrator before installing any
software updates, especially system ROM updates.
