Adding Hardware and Software

HP TouchSmart PCs may not be compatible with all of the software you install or all of the hardware you add. Make sure your hardware and software are compatible with the operating system.

Determining whether your system is 64-bit or 32-bit

1Tap the Start button, and then tap Help and Support.

2Tap Troubleshooting Tools, and then tap System Information.

3Tap Touch here to open System Information.

4After the System Information displays, view Operating System, Name. It will appear as either (64-bit) or (32-bit).

Optical Disc Drive

Use your CD/DVD drive to play and record CDs and DVDs, and Blu-ray discs (select models only). The slim-slot CD/DVD drive does not have a disc tray. To insert a disc, turn the data side toward the back of the computer (label side forward) and slide the disc into the drive slot.

A

To eject a disc, make sure the power is turned on and then press the Eject button (A) on the side of the disc drive. You can also tap the Start button, tap Computer, press and hold (or with the mouse, right-click) the CD drive, and then tap Eject.

If the disc gets stuck, refer to the Limited Warranty and Support Guide for the telephone number to contact HP Support.

Connecting to the Internet

Your HP TouchSmart PC is designed to support a wireless (select models only) or wired LAN that connects your computer to other devices, such as printers and other PCs. The network connection to the Internet is usually through a broadband modem (digital subscriber line [DSL] or cable), which requires a separate subscription.

￿For a wireless LAN, the HP TouchSmart PC includes a built-in wireless LAN antenna, which you can use to access your wireless home network.

￿For a wired LAN, connect an Ethernet cable (sold separately) to the Ethernet connector on the back of the computer, and then connect the other end to the network router or broadband modem.
