2 Installing and Customizing the
Software
If your computer was not shipped with a Microsoft operating system, some portions of this
documentation do not apply. Additional information is available in online help after you install the
operating system.
NOTE: If the computer was shipped with Windows 7 loaded, you will be prompted to register the
computer with HP Total Care before installing the operating system. You will see a brief movie
followed by an online registration form. Fill out the form, click the Begin button, and follow the
instructions on the screen.
CAUTION: Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to the computer until the operating
system is successfully installed. 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.
Installing the Operating System
The first time you turn on the computer, the operating system is installed automatically. This process
takes about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on which operating system is being installed. Carefully read
and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER
UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the computer during the installation 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 installation process could take up to 60 minutes.
If your computer was not shipped with a Microsoft operating system, some portions of this
