Getting HP Updates for the PC

Informing You of Changes

HP provides an Internet-based service that includes informing you when updates are available for your PC.

The updates from HP messages are also available to you through the HP Web site under the driver update and support information for your model PC. To go to the Web site, see “Visiting the Hewlett-Packard Web site” on page 44.

Using HP Center to Receive Messages from HP

Special HP offers for your PC

Messages arrive while you’re connected to the Internet and may display an alert or a notice on your desktop. View messages as they arrive or read them later. A message always asks for your permission before installing a system update on the PC.
