1 Getting started

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

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

●If your computer includes QuickWeb, 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 start your main operating system. QuickWeb is also referred to as Instant- On Software (IOS).

NOTE: To disable or reenable QuickWeb, refer to the "Changing QuickWeb settings” chapter. You can access the software Help when you are in QuickWeb by clicking the Help icon in the notification area.
