Setting Up and Connecting to Your Internet Account

Before you can connect to the Internet, you must sign up with an Internet service provider (ISP). HP has made arrangements with leading ISPs to help you sign up for Internet service using Easy Internet Sign-up (available on select models only).

NOTE: You may use any other ISP of your choice, or transfer your existing ISP account to this PC.

Use Easy Internet Sign-up to sign up for a new or transfer an existing ISP account (select ISPs only). The software programs for available ISPs are part of your PC. If you decide to subscribe to high-speed broadband, cable or digital subscriber line (DSL), contact your ISP for any specific software and hardware you may need.
