Operating System and Software
This Notebook PC may offer (depending on territory) its customers the choice of a
pre-installed Microsoft Windows operating system. The choices and languages
will depend on the territory. The levels of hardware and software support may vary
depending on the installed operating system. The stability and compatibility of other
operating systems cannot be guaranteed.
Support Software
This Notebook PC comes with a support disc that provides BIOS, drivers and
applications to enable hardware features, extend functionality, help manage your
Notebook PC, or add functionality not provided by the native operating system. If
updates or replacement of the support disc is necessary, contact your dealer for web
sites to download individual software drivers and utilities.
The support disc contains all drivers, utilities and software for all popular operating
systems including those that have been pre-installed. The support disc does not
include the operating system itself. The support disc is necessary even if your
Notebook PC came pre-congured in order to provide additional software not included
as part of the factory pre-install.
A recovery disc is optional and includes an image of the original operating system
installed on the hard drive at the factory. The recovery disc provides a comprehensive
recovery solution that quickly restores the Notebook PC’s operating system to its
original working state provided that your hard disk drive is in good working order.
Contact your retailer if you require such a solution.
NOTE: Some of the Notebook PC’s components and features may not work until the
device drivers and utilities are installed.
