1 Getting started

Your HP computer's main operating system is Microsoft® Windows®. Your computer may also feature the Instant Web application (select models only).

●The Microsoft Windows operating system displays the desktop on the display and controls your HP computer's hardware, peripherals, and software programs.

●If your computer includes Instant Web, it launches within seconds of pressing the power button. It allows you to quickly browse the Internet, view digital photos, listen to music, or keep in touch using e-mail, instant messages, or Skype (select models only), without having to boot your main operating system. Instant Web is also referred to as Instant-On Software (IOS).

NOTE: Instant Web is enabled by default. To disable or reenable Instant Web, refer to Chapter 13, "Changing Instant Web settings." You can access the software Help in Instant Web by clicking the Help icon in the notification area.
